• Occasionally deal with conflict situations where people may be rude or upset.

Physical Work Conditions

• Work near others, usually in a shared office space or within a few feet.

Work Performance

• Repeat the same mental and physical tasks.
• Work in a moderately competitive atmosphere where monthly deadlines must be met.
