That's an entry-level position at a plating shop.
I would still prefer it to a 'high position' in the chrome shop working with the plating solutions.
One of the 'shadier' chrome shops I occasionally use is run almost solely by a guy that has been in the business over 40 years. The Cr VI+ solutions of the old days have not been kind to him; he has very few teeth left. I believe he now uses Cr III+ plating however the smell of acid hits you like a brick in the face when you walk through the door. I once asked him if the acid smell bothered him to which he replied 'what smell?' If it was that bad in the office who knows what it would be like in the plating area....
