Help me with this scenario

Would you leave a position that you were miserable in? The commute is long. You're treated like hourly employees even though you're salary (clocking in, pay lost, commission lost if 40 hours are not averaged every week by the end of the month). Your boss rules with "fear" instead of a positive attitude. The benefits are so so. The vacation policy isn't great. There is no sick time, so in the winter everyone is sick because they come to work and keep passing it around. It's an old building and can be sweltering hot or freezing cold... you just never know. BUT, you like your co-workers. You can continually gain experience to find something better but you don't know if that something better will ever come.

You have the opportunity to leave that position to work in a nice office. Different atmosphere, different industry. The benefits are better, there is vacation, sick and personal time. It's closer to home. It's hourly but it pays more. BUT, there is no upward movement. The position is a step down from where you are now, but the pay and benefits are better and it's a shorter commute. BUT, no movement, and you're at a desk alone.

What would you do? The pay isn't THAT much more, but it's survivable compared to the salary of the first position which isn't survivable.
