You don’t get any time off since you’re only there 6 months, but for the amount of labor and time at sea you should be compensated much more. No real day rate like other at-sea companies. You get a $10 a day smack in the aching back after 15 sets in 110° heat. If you don’t catch a good amount they send you out anyway so you’re gone all week from home but only get $600 week after week.

Omega Protein was one of the best places to work.  Omega was bought by a company in Canada and they closed the corporate office in Houston and everybody had to look for other jobs. I always stayed busy with doing payroll and managing all the benefits and insurance enrollments and terminations and Cobra notifications.

My job was made very enjoyable by my boss and everybody else who worked there.  The company was like a family and made coming to work a pleasure.

A very productive and active workplace.I have learned how to operate different areas of the Plant.They have a motivated management team.I work with a great set of coworkers with a wealth of knowledge.The hardest part of the job is when machines breakdown.The most enjoyable part of the job is when everything is running well and everyone is safe.

I got up at 2am eveyday made sure there was fuel on board vessel. Check oil and Water then start main engines, then start generators and unplug vessel from shorepower. Then I would clean fish holds and start refrigeration. Then when the sun came up we would start fishing till the boat was filled up.

A typical work day is consisted of clocking in and going straight to work. The aluminum shop builds perch boats that assists the poagie vessels in finding the fish. I was the only welder with three other fitters. I was required to build two of these boats every three months. Give or take I completed six to eight boats a year.
