Service Stream Meter Reader reviews

Sometimes unsafe work environment, especially if you’re taller, stronger or masculine presenting.

- Essentially minimum wage. Considering the surprising amount of potential risks involved meter readers' do not get pay that reflects that - Large work loads essentially from commencing work, reading up to 600-800 meters/day, averaging 28,000 steps or 20km/day walking on concrete - potential exposure to asbestos/other hazardous materials - Extremely disorganised management, sometimes receiving the days roster less than an hour before commencing work - Inefficient systems eg. having to fill own time sheets out weekly on a poorly formatted excel spreadsheet - Routes are sequenced in an equally janky, poorly formatted excel spreadsheet, resulting in meter readers having to walk more than would be required. - Expectation that meter readers complete rostered routes the day they are provided, regardless of how long they may be - Having to walk into someones property at 7-8 in the morning feels invasive - Risk being attacked by dogs or irate customers - Must work in any and all conditions
