Are you happy with your current job?

[Abe Froman]

Over all, Yes

Pro: Great Expense Account and Creative Freedom
Con: Dealing with my Unethical superior

Least Favorite Employee (LFE)or the one person you would punch given a chance: Director of Property Management. He screws some of our clients so bad, and he thinks it's funny when they don't contest and just pay up.

 

[pontifex]

Pros: good benefits, can wear jeans and t-shirts every day, easy commute.

Cons: Boss is a moron, doesn't involve me with anything.

LFE: Boss - see above

 

[fLum0x]

eh, it is okay. you don't have an answer for "currently pleased, but not the happiest" or something of the likes. I can't complain too much, but I don't plan on being here forever :x

Pro: 20 PTO days in the first year of work out of college and 5 minute commute.
Con: Working in a group where others slack and I have to make up for their work and they get appraised as much as I do for it. If i don't do their work...it is not a team effort. How do you handle that one?

 

[blackdogdeek]

i really like my job.

pros: very good money, good technology, always learning both technically and financially
cons: lots of stress and pressure

LFE: the GUI guy

 

[Kelemvor]

I love the job, the company, and the people. But it's a contract position that's only supposed to last a couple months. I sure hope they find an opening to hire me on full time before it ends.

 

[SirChadwick]

Over all, YES!

Pros: Laid back boss and environment, slow work days, very lenient policies, education reimbursement
Cons: Sometimes too slow, working in a cube w/ no window, not much room for advancement

Least Favorite Employee (LFE)or the one person you would punch given a chance: Web Developer who thinks he's God. Since I'm the tech guy he expects me to do anything he wants at will - and demands that I do so. Followed closely behind him comes a Transportation Specialist who has OCD and is a perfectionist in every way. She's always telling me I'm at fault for her sh1t that doesn't work. Fvck em both! I deal with it b/c I like everyone else.

 

[Riverhound777]

Hopefully I'll be getting a call in the next week about my new job.

Pros: Great experience, good people.
Cons: Horrible pay, no growth, crappy place to live.
LFE: Ummm don't really care for the new guy, but I don't really have a good reason.

 

[krunchykrome]

So far, yes.

Pros: Company goodies (laptop, and company gear galore), laid back environment, paid overtime (which is rare for auditing positions), a young staff, monthly poker tournaments, paid travel (hotel, car, flight, food per diem), company AMEX credit card for job related expenses, company season tickets that are raffled off every week(Ravens, redskins, orioles, capitals), 401K.

Cons: The project I'm working on is a 5 year audit engagement which is a new audit for the company. This means that it is a learning process and it can be frustrating at times.

 

[Abe Froman]

Two new poll options.

 

[tw1164]

I guess so
Pros: no expectations on performance, nice benefits, job security
con: I work for government, efficiency is a no-no, turning into clockwatcher

LFE: lady who bitches about everything and has this negative aura that just oozes off her

 

[cheapgoose]

polishing my resume as we speak.

pros: everything except reasons below.

con: my old manager just left for a new company, thinking about joining him.

LFE: new manager

 

[b0mbrman]

I both love it and don't like it...the don't like is outweighing love right now and so that's why I'm leaving

Pro: Lots of pride
Con: Long hours during the day, and long months during the year

LFE: The limiting factor, the guy I have to dumb down all the training to...

 

[rh71]

At this point, it's a job. Working from home is not as "great" as it may seem after 2 straight years of doing it... or has it been 3 ? Seriously, I don't even remember anymore.

 

[thegimp03]

Pro: learning and growth potential
Con: relatively little work/life balance

LFE: micromanager on my client

 

[hanoverphist]

Pro: much freedom of expression, many different aspects of my job to get lost in andnot get bored. decent pay

Cons: i cant really think of a con in a job where i get to do what i want, read forums and occasionally play World of Warcraft at my desk.

LFE: definitely the "office manager" chick that cant form 3 sentences without 45 typos, yells at people when she doesnt understand and cant seem to adapt to basic principles of computer operation.

I've been working from home for the last week and I'll continue doing so for another week or so until our new office is finished. It takes discipline. I like the convenience and relaxed atmosphere. But actually going to an office seems to make me more productive. I'm spending too much time at home playing madden or playing on the internet.

 

[dquan97]

Pro: Laid-back environment, easy work, 8-5 job (no OT), ok pay, no work to take home, pension of 75% of highest pay after 30yrs
Con: micromanagers, no bonus, limited upward mobility

 

[Koing]

I really like my job. It is great. I am learning a lot and my career prospects are great.

I am under a lot of pressure every few weeks due to taking on another role within our team. I am under moderates amounts of pressure every week though.

I can train at lunchtime and my social life at work is great. I'm in a very cool team.

i like my job, and i don't like my job. i'm currently in the middle of the interview process for a new position, but i'm waiting to see what their offer will be since i just got a raise over here.

pros: growing company, leader in the field, casual dress, i'm near the top of the food chain for my dept.
cons: maxed out my personal growth potential in the company and there is nowhere to go, it's becoming super corporate, new changes i don't agree with.

LFE: ohhh anyone that doesn't listen to me even though i'm a direct supervisor to them.

it'll be hard to leave here though, i've been here three years and i'm a "go to" person for everything. sometimes you hit a comfort zone. but the new job actually has this thing called "holidays" which have recently been taken away from us (yes, i work nearly every damn holiday now.)
