You must be comfortable working in hotter environments, dirtier areas, and dealing with hazardous materials. You will work with every element on the periodic table. There are seven total people in this group, and the team size will be 12 to 15 when fully staffed on all three shifts, so you will work in smaller teams to compound the materials. You MUST be able to work with others. There are openings for 2nd and 3rd shifts. The 2nd shift is Monday through Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., with potential training on 1st shift before moving to the second shift.

There is an option to work overtime and/or weekend days, but on average, most people will work 40 to 45 hours per week.
