I had the exact same title in 1983 and was making the high end of the range -- $15/ hour.

I notice that this is a "family owned" business.

Looks small. And they can't afford real programmers. They wouldn't know what they need; the bork put together the requirements, the company said what it will pay.

Heck, it's a security company. And what do security guards make?    Minimum wage, basically.

ADS is not a mom and pop shop.  

They are one of the biggest companies in their field.  

Don't be misled by "family owned".  Wal-Mart used to be family owned.  Maybe it still is.
