Team work makes the dream work 

The realization that no one succeeds alone is colloquially stated: “team work makes the dream work”. The fastest way to make your dreams come true is to invite very skilled people into your life and your dreams.

I only work here 

This is a phrase used to express resignation to a situation that one has no control over, where the person making the statement acknowledges that there is an issue that needs to be addressed but implies that the issue is beyond his control, power or pay grade.

work hard and play hard 

Buzzword (technically phrase) frequently used to describe the 'culture' of a company, particularly startups or larger corps trying to project a cool image. In serious usage it's intended to imply that while there's a lot to do it's never thankless and that employees enjoy the experience overall; in practice, it generally means you're going to be working a lot of late nights without overtime for fear you won't be seen as a 'team player'; if you're lucky, this is recompensed by an open bar at the company holiday party.

You're probably not lucky, if you've taken a job where this was supposed to be one of the selling points.
"This is a really vibrant, growing organization. People love it here. We work hard and play hard." -- an interviewer you should not trust with your life or your livelihood. Run.
