During the full harvest you work 7 days a week and 12 hr shifts, usually from 8 to 8, either nights or days. anything after 8 hrs is time and a half, Saturdays are time and a half all day, and Sundays are double time all day. The campsite is totally paid for while you are there.
Previous career wise, I was a Master Plumber and also was the supervisor of the maintenance department of a large correctional facility for 15 years. If you are interested in a foreman's position you would need to let them know. Tell Al Jeff and Joyce say hello!
