    The conditions of your work space will differ greatly depending on
    the employer. 

    In one production shop, my bench sat with full natural light and
    excellent ventilation but the owner and another craftsman both had
    hand guns in their benches in case of a robbery. When I found out
    that my bench was in the cross fire, I quit. 

    Another company had me in a cramped backroom where the only
    ventilation coming in was from over the dumpsters in the back alley 
of
    the building pea-yew & no natural light. But the people where great,
    good pay, and I got to be as creative as I wanted, I stayed. 

    Physical conditions are one thing, working conditions involve a lot
    of different factors.
