    That production shop does not sound like it is right for you.
    Conditions at stores vary quite a bit from store to store. i have
    worked for wholesale manufacturers, small indepedents, artsy shops
    and now a mid size chain store in a mall. My current position is
    actually really good. The working conditions are not bad and the
    staff is pretty fun to be around. As the sole bench person i sort of
    run an independent business within a business- managing my own
    findings, tools, stones etc and having the overall profitiability of
    my shop operation monitered by which my income is set. There are
    alot of bread and butter repair jobs but we also do quite a bit of
    custom pieces as i carve wax and have places to send things to for
    casting and cad design. So what i am saying is that you probably need
    to check out each store to see what it is like and if it suits you.
    If you (or anyone else out there) is interested in a possition at one
    of our stores in the midwest USA-particularly DesMoines or Omaha- you
    can contact my privately. 

Good luck in your search.
