Work Environment

This is a manufacturing and warehouse setting that can be loud when production machines are running. The facility is generally clean, though working with powdered products may create some dust. Employees do not come into contact with harmful chemicals, but products contain perfumes, so individuals should be comfortable working around fragrances. Some areas of the plant and warehouse can feel cramped due to equipment and racking, and forklift operation requires careful navigation in tight spaces. The site offers a large lunch room and maintains a casual dress code. Personal protective equipment is required on the production floor, including a hairnet and beard cover where applicable. Work hours are Monday to Friday, with openings on a 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm shift at one location and a 2:30 pm to 10:45 pm shift at another.
