DIRTY AND HOT! Black carbon will get on you, but showers and fans are available for heat relief. Work directly with a few other team members. The environment is not climate controlled; the temperature inside reflects the temperature outside, making it very hot in the summer. Shifts: 1st - 7am - 3pm MON-FRI $19/hr, 2nd - 3pm - 11pm MON-FRI (will train for 1-6 weeks on a middle shift - 11am - 7pm) $19.50/hr. The environment can be dirty due to the product, but showers are onsite for those who want to use them.
