Property Data Collection - Property Data Collector Asteroom Employee Review

- Make your own hours - Decent pay if you negotiate based on distance, square footage and complexity of the shoot (additional structures)

- False Advertising with the $65/h they state in the job posting. After travel time and expenses its more like $20-$30/h. They offer $65 as the set price per house, but often i would negotiate for around $90-$100 a house. 1 hour drive + 1 hour shoot + 20-30 minute wait on QA + 30 minute reshoot if necessary + 1 hour drive back (- cost of gas/wear tear on vehicle ~$10?) = ~$20-$30/h. - Very dangerous settings. Houses could be falling apart. Get Liability Insurance for this job. - Usually an hour drive from my location, but i have driven up to two and half hours away. - Sometimes houses will not be accessible because of wrong lock box code, absent realtor, debris blocking an entrance, or one time a house smelled like a rotting corpse. They will ask you to do ridiculous things to get into a house like this. Once they asked me to crawl through a broken window. And they may or may not compensate you for driving there. - Sometimes you wouldn't have service to upload the photos, so you would have to leave the site to upload. And then if you needed to reshoot you would have to drive back. - Sometimes you would be the one handling client resolution. I have handled clients face to face when they were unaware that i had to photograph every room of their house. Or sometimes they were tenants who were unaware that the service was scheduled by the owner. I have had to also personally handle rescheduling of a house that was not accessible. You will not be compensated for any of this. - They flagged my account and took away a lot of work for asking for $175 for a rush order. The order came in friday at 8pm and was scheduled for monday at 9am. They accepted, Then afterwards i didnt get any work for a month. Only after with speaking with them did i learn that my account was "flagged" but they removed it. I dont know how much work i lost because of that. - They will call/text you any time of the day. - A “New Shooting Style” was introduced that required both 3D and 2D photos in a specific format. I was told I’d be the “premiere photographer” for the area — but without a contract, it meant nothing. The job paid just $70 — only $10 more for double the work. It required a wide-angle lens, which I didn’t have, so I invested in a DSLR to meet the requirement.After a long shoot (1-hour drive, 2-hour shoot, 40-minute QA wait), I was asked to reshoot — which I did. Then they asked again. I declined due to a prior commitment but agreed to return later. My tasks were removed, and my pay was cut in half. In the end, I lost ~$500 in potential work and effectively paid out of pocket for that job. - Since then, I’ve done one job. They still call occasionally, but follow-through is rare. I suspect I'm being used for training backup now.

It's mainly work from home setup That is the only Pro

A Lot Unpaid overtime 4 to 16 hours of overtime daily, even during weekends Management only hears what they want to hear No benefits AT ALL They act like they are paying you 24/7 every day. You have to be on standby and ready to work when they ask you, doesn't matter if it's your day off or UNPAID vacation leave. System's old school, and policies are ever changing Even CEO asks why a certain rule is being followed even when he was the one who implemented them. Higher ups curses a lot. Very good at boosting morale: consistently criticizing people in front of everyone Politics is rampant and too obvious, they promote people who piggybacks on other people's work, just because they're friends. A lot more. Most of the employees are zombies All for $600
