Working at Disney was a horrible experience... for being the happiest place on earth, people were so incredible angry all the time.  People figured out the more they complained the more free stuff Disney compensates them for even if the complaint was a lie.  It's a horrible working environment that doesn't pay much more than say working at Walmart.

It is like that every where.  Every worked in retail or fast food.  They do not care if they are getting an actual person in trouble with their lies either.

I have been very lucky my working career has amounted to two paying jobs that lasted nearly 40 years and I loved them both but my best job was a non paying one being a wife and a mom

I once worked for a telemarketing company.  It was awful and would never do that again.  That is one of the reasons I hate talking on the phone.

    Food handling:
    It is messy and some customers are simply rude.

I had 2 bad jobs. My first was working for a candy store....I gained weight because part of the pay was eat all you want and since I loved butter creams and chocolate covered pretzels....well.

My second worse was working 3rd shift at a pen and pencil manufacturer. I was one of the molders. You didn't do anything but watch the machine pour the plastic into the mold, make the pen part, then when it opened, you took the pens out and smacked them again a tub to get them apart. I fell asleep one night and killed the molder by not pulling the finished product out of the machine so when the press closed again, it was glued together. Ruined a $10K machine and almost got fired!  It was the most boring job I ever had!

My first job was telemarketing. The job itself wasn't so bad, even when dealing with irate people. But I was absolutely terrible at pushing sales so I rarely made my quota. The only reason I never got fired was because my supervisor liked me (too much).

My worst job was working in a large shoe department in a retail store.  I am telling you I never picked up so many scattered shoes and shoeboxes in my whole life.  People just like to ask for 20 pairs of shoes to try on and just leave them anywhere and everywhere. It was then I decided people are incredibly lazy when they know someone is there to wait on them!
Then there were a few women who had obnoxious kids that they let run around the department messing up displays.  Still another situation was the couple of women who expected me to get the shoes on their kids' feet or put them on their own feet.  They were a bit huffy when i explained we didn't do that!  Oh well!!

I worked for a fast food when I first arrive to the US 30 years ago, I also worked a part time for Macy's about 10 years ago, and even though they were both bad, my worst experience was an office job I had until very recently, worked for them as a government contractor for 20 years, every time the contract would renew a new company will win it and with that came a new management, rules, etc.  The last company the environment was really toxic, stressful and manager was a person that kept you on a tight leash, I had to get out of it and thank God I managed to, my health was getting affected and I could not handle it anymore.
