John Im sorry to tell ya but I know this company very well. I have worked with them a couple of times. First off the pay your talking about is inhouse which is true inhouse pay. Lets go down the list of projects and what their pay was. Memphis TN helm was paying 70% to contractors. In Florida they did trouble calls in several systems where the inhouse techs got $22 per. Contractors got $33. I know they pay about 33% less for inhouse techs as contractors and their contractor scale is 60%. Helm is actually one of the good ones left. They will not take a job that you cannot make good money at. The only ones that have ever had issues with helm were hacks.
