Alaskan Glacier

We rate this company as having an unsatisfactory business performance record. Specifically, complainants allege the company is using deceptive and misleading sales practices. This company sells a list for Alaskan fishing employment information. Respondents are asked to contact the companies listed for an employment application and is allegedly offered guidance. Alaskan Glacier is not directly affiliated with the listed fishing companies and therefore can not guarantee employment. Some businesses listed as potential employers by this company allege they did not give authorization to use their business as a potential employer. All of these businesses requested that they be removed from the listing citing they are not hiring and received unsolicited applications. The company responded by removing the listings, explaining companies on their list do exist and there are constant changes in the industry. Other complainants from individuals allege that they sent in fees for the listings and were generally dissatisfied. Complainants state the listings contained businesses who did not approve, were unaware of being listed, or did not exist. The company responded by explaining they provide general information about the industry, application and review process. Once the fee is received, the customer is sent a list of the top companies in the industry and is given guidance. The company states they have no control over the companies they provide referrals to and offer no guarantees or refunds. We routinely urge careful evaluation when considering employment offers of this nature. Many similar offers come from companies who merely provide computerized lists instead of specific employment refferals. Generally companies pay all costs involved in finding qualified persons to fill special positions. Before sending money, obtain full details, and confirm all verbal promises, in writing. The Better Business Bureau does not endorse, recommend or disapprove of any company, product or service.
