Which job would you take?

environment, environment hands down

Job # 2

I would go for the environment. Your coworkers can make your life great or they can make your life hell, both in and out of work. I would go with the less wonderful job in terms of duties; it has been my experience that great coworkers more than make up for any job duties that stink.

Position #2 for pretty much the same reasons others have mentioned. Those stress inducing times are easier to navigate when you are working with a supportive team.

The Ideal Environment, hands down. We can't always get what we want, but it sounds as though you might be coming prett-y darn close! If you don't like the atmosphere or the folks you work with, it is a deadly situation to be in, professionally.

Offer #2 is what I would go for. You say it has job duties that will cause stress but they are infrequent. If you go with option#1 you will have stress daily for the whole shift.

enjoy!
