Having said all this, we continue to have many employees who return to work with us year after year. The reason is simple. Icicle Seafoods' processing vessels can be a great place to work. Wages are competitive, room and board is paid and your laundry is done for you. Transportation from Seattle to your Alaska destination is provided.
Anchorage is the point of hire in Alaska.
If hired in Alaska, transportation is provided from Anchorage to the location of the processor. Employees who return to work within one calendar year return at the same wage level. As their hours accumulate, so does the rate of pay. Many employees make lifelong friends onboard our vessels. Because seafood is a highly perishable product, it must be frozen as quickly as possible to maintain the highest quality.
