My great-grandmother worked in a local factory when I was little (around 3-7 years old ... early 70's). I think the factory made all kinds of clothes, but she worked in the section that made those one-piece footed pajamas. I remember her bringing me lots of pajamas back then. I think they were seconds that she got at a discount, but I LOVED them. Since the top and bottom were one piece, they were a little hard to put on and take off, but once you had them on, they were soooo warm. I always got a kick out of the "drop-down bottom" in the back so you could use the bathroom without having to take your pajamas off.
My favorite pair was orange on the bottom, and the top was white with orange wrenches and other tools on it. They must've been meant for a little boy, but I loved them just the same.
I don't remember her commenting on whether or not she liked the job, but she loved sewing (and quilting), so I imagine she liked it at least fairly well.
