This is primarily a manufacturing environment with moderate noise levels and no direct exposure to hazardous physical substances.  Finger dexterity is needed to hold and work with the hand tools.  The position primarily requires the individual to be mobile, bend, lift up to twenty five pounds, reach, sit walk and stare at small objects from close range: requires close attention to detail.

Unless expressly prescribed by statue or contract, your employment is “at will.”  All Glidewell employees are at will, which means they may be terminated at any time and for any reason, with or without advance notice.  Employees are also free to quit at any time.  Any employment relationship other than at will must be set out in writing and signed by the President of the company or the Vice President of Human Resources.
