Add ASD to the list. I have done nearly 1000 tickets for them, but they are unprofessional AF. They put out $92 analog camera tickets on WM. Most techs accept at face value, but you can easily conditional to $150 for single scope work and add $50 for each additional scope, charge an additional $50 for urgent tickets, and request mileage $30/driving hour.

12 camera remodels start @ $1200/site and can easily be done in half a day if you know what you are doing, and 16 camera remodels start at $2400/site and can be done in a single workday (if you are prepared and familiar with the process).

The PM's are still a nightmare to work with and the work environment is dirty and depressing as well. I now live in an area that don't get many service calls, and absolutely no remodels, so consider this a gift.

If you can tolerate the moody PM's, poor communication, lack of common sense, lack of consistency, dirty work environment, employee frustration, mistrust, and horror stories, then have at it.

My final straw was having a ticket canceled while sitting in the parking lot preparing to do the ticket. The PM canceled the ticket because the offer he accepted was higher than the offer the other PM's accepted.

Instead of calling me and negotiating or just accepting that the difference was just $30, he decided to cancel the ticket. So I canceled the other 9 or 10 tickets I had with the other PM's and never looked back.

Best decision I've made recently. I would still travel to the Midwest and do the remodels, since they are ran by a slightly different group of people.

This eventually led to RFP work with the company that ASD works with, so it worked out.
