dead-end job 

Employment in a menial job which usually requires minimal skills, offers little pay, and has few or no opportunities for a promotion or advancement within the company. See McJob.
I've worked cleaning tables at this restaurant for three years making minimum wage, and no matter how hard I try to impress the managers, open management positions are always given to college-educated applicants who have never even worked with the company. I'm sick and tired of this hopeless, dead-end job.

Plain. Not tampered with or upgraded. Basic.
