Personal: My Job
So, I work at Burgerville (which is, indeed, the Actual Name of a sorta-fast food place in the Northwest. Burgerville tries to be as locally-based and earth-friendly as possible. Now that I've stopped eating meat and I'm thinking about going vegan and cutting out animal products altogether, there's not much that I eat there (I may eventually try their gardenburger to see if I like it, but I'm a wimp when it comes to trying new foods), but they're doing a pretty good job, I think.
They recently started doing the thing where our cooking oil is getting turned into biodiesel and we've been using 100% renewable wind power since last August. Our beef comes from actual grass-fed cows that live on ranges and everything (We actually had a 'Meet the Ranchers' day a couple of weeks ago, and the ranchers came in and helped out and hung around. Very classy of them.). So, I don't have any huge ethical issues with working there, as I would with... oh, pretty much any other fast food place in existence.
Plus, they like me, which is nice. I've gotten quite a few compliments at my job (mostly from co-workers and managers, but sometimes from guests -- I've had many compliments on my voice and order-taking technique), which I'm still not used to -- I tend to get all quiet and shy when people say nice things about me.
Overall, working there is working out fine for me (plus, they recently started doing insurance with Kaiser for $15 a month, no deductible, which I am given to understand is a very good deal).
