I've worked jobs with a healthy social culture (most people are nice & respectful) and unhealthy ones (most people are cold, calculating, and don't give a crap about you), as well as worked on things I would deem "interesting" (brain stimulating, not "fun") and "boring" (not solving problems, just doing legwork, without the creating novel solutions part, more or less). When I was younger, I worked at a carwash where the work was repetitive and mind-numbing and where the people were unkind to each other. I lasted several months until I found a better place to work for, but what I learned from that and later experiences is that I really don't want to work at a job that has a "I'm just here for the money, so why bother making friends?" type of attitude for very long.
