What are my thoughts? The training was poor (almost nonexistent), the coworkers are rude and condescending, the office is in a bad part of town, and the industry is of no interest to me. I find the job depressing and I don't need this paycheck anymore.
Saying that I don't like the work and I'd be glad to stay at the company if they would utilize my skills in a different way. Should I be honest about my feelings and how I plan on doing more, and if they don't give me that opportunity I'll be out the door?
So ... the office is on the bad side of town and you've no interest in this industry?
Do you think your feedback would compel the company to move to a nicer neighborhood and change their industry?
And why would you want to "do more" and "be glad to stay at the company if they would utilize my skills"
if you hated the place?
Some things don't compute. I'm guessing you're a privileged 26 year-old and this is your first job out of college?
The value garnered from feedback of an employee is measured based on other factors - such as their level of maturity, how they view themselves, and how they view the company. Based on your posts here, they wouldn't take anything you have to say seriously, so I wouldn't bother telling them what you think.
...Has anyone ever taken a wild approach to a performance review and gotten good results? I don't care to waste my youth answering phones and being subservient to a bunch of people I can't stand. I'm fully prepared to learn a "hard" lesson, I have a support net... What would you do?
Coming from a former middle-management boss (before I retired), it sounds like you have an overinflated sense of self-importance. I suspect that a number of co-workers, and maybe even your bosses, would be glad to see you quit or do something to get yourself fired.
Any chance this company offers a tuition-reimbursement package for an advanced degree? A bachelor's in biology isn't going to get you much in the way of high pay or big responsibilities. So if this job includes tuition reimbursement, maybe you could suck it up another year or so and leave with much better qualifications for the kind of job you want.

Been with this company 9 months and I really don't like my job at all. The work is mundane, mind-numbing, and far below my skill level. I paid off my student loans and I have enough saved up to live for a year, so I've gotten to the point where I don't care that much. I'm thinking about taking an insanity wolf approach to this performance review.
We have a form to fill out with a section for "thoughts about the company." What are my thoughts? The training was poor (almost nonexistent), the coworkers are rude and condescending, the office is in a bad part of town, and the industry is of no interest to me. I find the job depressing and I don't need this paycheck anymore. I have a 4 year degree in biology and I'm pretty much a glorified secretary for a bunch of people getting paid 6x as much as me who don't appreciate my hard work.
Yes, I work very hard and go far beyond the job description.
I have a vacation in July, I have enough to live on for a while, and I really don't care. Is there a chance an "insanity" approach to this performance review could be beneficial? I don't mean screaming and acting like a fool, I mean being blunt and speaking my mind. Saying that I don't like the work and I'd be glad to stay at the company if they would utilize my skills in a different way. Should I be honest about my feelings and how I plan on doing more, and if they don't give me that opportunity I'll be out the door?
Most importantly, should I tell them I plan on going back to school? At the moment I don't have any solid plans, but it's certainly in the cards.

Don't do it! Everything follows you now. If this was 20 years ago? I would say go for it and I have been in that "*********" attitude with jobs before I actually got a career that I love. Don't risk your future job prospects because you are PO'ed!
the blurted out ***** Stars was s c r e w y o u ! attitude!
Honestly I -am- in a position to make demands from them if they want to retain me.
You do understand they probably have a big stack of Resumes from people MORE qualified than you.
Go ahead do as you plan, get fired while torching a very big bridge.
