I endorse this company with the highest enthusiasm."

Jesse Cardenas- President Pomona Police Officers Association

"We partnered with ASC for the first time in 2020. Mike and his team were professional, upfront, quick to respond, objective and always had our interest in mind. The data ASC provided was clear, easy to read, and provided ahead of the projected time frame. The data we received from our internal class and comp study created a solid foundation in which to begin our negotiation process. We look forward to our continued working relationship with Advanced Survey Consulting."

  • James Duarte – President 

    The team at Advanced Survey Consultants was by far one of the best company’s we have worked with. Negotiations require a team effort to accomplish a task worthy of your membership and I firmly believe we could not have secured one of the best contracts in the past 12 years without the help of Advanced Survey Consultants. They provided us with a detailed and professional survey AND were available to consult with via phone when needed. They will be the first persons we call when we prepare for our next negotiations.

  • Nick Garcia - President

    Our department was in negotiations with the city for almost 9 months. Mike (owner) provided us with essential and the most update information that helped our association secure the biggest pay raise we had in 25 years. Mike also prepared and presented a detailed power point presentation to the city’s negotiating team explaining all the pertinent information in the survey. The HBPOA is forever grateful to Mike and his company for all their hard work and time.

  • Luis Isarraraz - President

    Advanced Survey Consulting has been a professional organization since the first presentation. My association has had an outstanding partnership with them ever since. The surveys are the best I have ever seen. The surveys are extremely thorough and contain all of the statistical data to support the findings. The information also provides clarity to the city budget and finances. I highly recommend their services regardless if you are in negotiations or not.

  • Edward Criado - President

    I can’t express enough my gratitude and appreciation for the level of service and professional product we received working with Mike and his team at ASC. The comprehensive benefits comparison survey and collective bargaining training absolutely made the difference in our successful labor negotiations with the City. We were able to increase total compensation to our members 17.99% over two years and we have a game plan for the next round. We would not have been able to do this without Mike and his team

  • Craig Shiosaki - President

    Advanced Survey Consulting provided us with a professional survey, which contained invaluable information and data. The depth and details of their survey was far superior to anything we had ever seen in the past. Using the information, we identified areas which would most benefit our members and their families. I will definitely use Advanced Survey Consulting in the future and highly recommend them.

  • Jason Perez - President & CalPERS Board

    In my years as a labor representative, I have never seen a survey as comprehensive as the one I received from Advanced Survey Consulting. Mr. Sargent and his team dove into every detail of the Memorandum of Understandings involved in our survey and provided me with accurate and up to date information. Moreover, the professionalism and attentiveness to their clients are exceptional.

  • Errore Berardineli - President

    Advanced Survey Consulting was essential for negotiation preparation and stargazing. I have completed total compensation surveys over the years and have dealt with bad city surveys. Mike makes a huge effort to get the most accurate information by talking to the association. Advanced Survey Consulting delivered an accurate analysis and a comprehensive survey

  • Matt Jackson - President

    Mike did an outstanding job! We were in a major time crunch and needed him to work some magic. He made miracles happen and got us some reliable numbers, which both our association and the city trusted. This resulted in the largest pay increase in the history of our association. We can't say enough about what Advanced Survey Consulting was able to do for us and how valuable their service was for our association.

  • Chris Komathy - President

    Advanced Survey Consulting was a great resource in completing a quick, competent and extremely detailed portfolio for our association. The survey had great comparisons to other relevant cities and was very straight forward with facts on salaries, pay scales, classifications, incentives, and benefits. Truly a "one stop shop" in determining actual costs, along with the expertise and ability to personally everything in full detail

  • Nick Fasullo - President

    I highly recommend the product and services that Mike and his team at Advanced Survey Consulting have to offer. I was very impressed by the experience and knowledge this team has to offer. We asked Advanced Survey Consulting to clearly compare our MOU to every other Fire Department in our County, and the level of customer service we received was outstanding. Mike made sure the survey was spot on accurate and it included everything we needed to clearly and easily compare an otherwise complicated data set. The information provided to us by this survey was invaluable when it came time to plan and strategize for our contract negotiations

  • David Leber – President

    Advanced Survey Consulting gave us a different look at where we were deficient in benefits as compared to other agencies. This enabled us to go into negotiations with third party, unbiased facts to support our position. The professionalism exhibited by the staff at every juncture was top notch. No matter what questions or concerns I had they were handled quickly, and everything was accomplished within the time frame quoted. We will continue to use Advanced Survey Consulting in the future, and I would recommend them to anyone going into negotiations

  • Erik Sarafian - President

    I strongly recommend to anyone who wants to get the most complete and comprehensive survey to work with Advanced Survey Consulting. Mike and his team showed us exactly where we stood in compensation and showed us the status of the city's financial health. The team at Advanced Survey Consulting worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help us get the best contract possible! Mike is reliable and always responds to our questions in a timely fashion. We plan on contracting with ASC for our annual surveys in the future
