Work

Work RSC runs a 24 hour processing facility.

It is key to understand that your hours are all dependent on the fish.

• Lots of fish = lots of work

• No fish = no work.

I cannot tell you how many hours you’re going to work or how much money you’re going to make because I do not know how much fish is going to show up to the plant

The fish do show up and you will work a lot I just can’t tell you how much you’re going to work.

There may be several days or weeks of full production, and there may be several days with little or no production.
