Work Environment

The work takes place in a clean, modern production facility with approximately 60 people on the production floor.

In the cleanroom, cosmetics such as makeup, mascara, eyeliner, hair products, aftershaves, perfumes, fingernail polish, and artificial nails are not permitted, and all jewelry, including earrings, rings, bracelets, and watches, must be removed. Because cleanroom assignments can occur at any time, these restrictions apply during all shifts. A heavy jacket is provided for comfort in the cleanroom. Team members must follow all facility rules, including no eating or drinking and no phones, videos, or pictures on the production line. The environment supports a fast-paced, continuous production flow, requiring sustained focus and adherence to quality and safety standards.
