Any job that is intended to enforce policies in America is usually almost immediately negatively connotated. Jobs like a DMV worker or an IRS agent are such examples. Other jobs that enforce policies against a certain group of people (like a judge against criminals) is frowned upon. Hence, dependent upon the group of people from whose point of view a job is seen, anyone with that job may be considered to be of a negative view. So, a boss may be disliked or looked down upon by his/her employees, while his/her own boss may consider them to be an asset to the company.

The idea that a job has a negative connotation to society as a whole, however, is definitely present with people who have jobs that are meant to enforce laws or policies.

Fast Food; Restaurant occupations. Walmart jobs, other Retail positions, Telemarketers and Sales.

EDIT: Government cheese: While your answer makes a lot of sense, those positions are only looked down upon by those who those people had to enforce the laws on. Of course judges are look down upon by criminals, but judges are looked up to by the majority of society that is actually law abiding for the most part. The only one I have to agree with you on is the DMV workers, andd that's because many DMV workers tend to be rude and have a nasty attitude.
