Default Re: Worst Place to Work in the Metro

Honestly, I've not loathed every place I've worked at in the last 3 1/2 years I've lived in OKC...but I will say that I've loathed many a coworker.

I think a lot of whether or not we enjoy our place of employment depends greatly on the quality of coworkers. Of course, you get what you pay for if you work big box consumer retail stores since most people could get a job there and really only about 10% should. Smaller, locally owned establishments tend to be a little pickier about who they hire simply because they have to tolerate them day in and day out more so than the HR lady at Lowe's would have to deal with a retarded cashier.

Probably my least desirable experience was working retail cellular phone sales in which the pay was 100% commission. Talk about suck! It's either feast or famine and I hated being pushed to sell more and more when the market just wouldn't tolerate it at certain times. The worst was feeling obligated to sell more accessories or upsell a phone model so I could pay my rent or put food on my table. It just felt WRONG...especially when the older or less-fortunate customers came in just because they needed to replace a phone that was technologically outdated. I still won't understand why they had to take out the proven and reliable TDMA system in the rural areas. *sigh* anyway...
