British Gas job

[Mike2007]

I am being tuped over to British Gas to fit electric meters. I have heard people slag them off for years, customers and staff.
What benefits are there (obviously a job in a resession) to have and what salary comes as an experienced fitter. Additional training given to do duel-fuel metering (Gas + Electric).

if you mean direct labour - the pay is not the best that is possible, although I don't work in metering so it could be anywhere between dire and brilliant, also dont know about their conditions, but sick and holiday pay, and pension are all benefits. you need to way up the pros and cons, then make your own decision, I am NOT advising you, to take the job or not.

Lengthy discussion about this in CC a while ago, search it if you are really interested in this job.
Bear in mind that salaries advertised as "between 18 and 26k" are much more likely to be 18.1 than 25.9. The good news is that you are guaranteed to take your £400 a week home and you don't have overheads.
Expect heavy sales targets.
