Well, every location will encounter SGs (not just attractions). As for not wanting to work attractions- that will vary by person. For me personally, I left TSM because of how crazy people got there (wait times/FPs especially). And I've always vowed to never work an attraction with a height requirement, because I don't want to have to deal with issues there.

When I worked at Knott's, the attractions I hated were Red Baron, Charlie Brown Speedway, and the now removed Walter K Steamboat. The last one had a broken reverse gear, and landing it at the dock was tricky. More than once I had guests on board helping me adjust the position of the boat so we could load it.

I would think that working at city hall with the endless complainers would get a bit old after a few hours.

I'd take that job in a heart beat as there are no problems, just opportunities. I'd show 'em some Disney/Hobie love. If the Disney love doesn't work then it's time to draw the Hobie sword.

If they demand free stuff, it just ain't gonna happen. If it's a legitimate complaint and all they want to do is make sure the issue is addressed, then the heavens will open.

And no whiners. If I get a whiner then it's Boston accent time when I ask, "Are you a whinnnnnnnneeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr?"

Where do I apply?

PAC is considered an attraction, and requires a very special type of CM who has somewhat of a hate of themselves.

Exactly, it requires a special type of person to enjoy flying tackles so that Buttercup does not squash a SG.
