morning. Employees cannot have cell phones on site and must leave
in their cars. Lunches are provided daily for employees, as they
are not allowed to bring anything inside the facility for sanitary
reasons. Employees who work in this environment cannot have the
following pets at home, due to the nature of the work environment:
Beagles (K9 dogs), small rodents, hamsters, chinchillas, Guinee
