Typically the jobs are only sent on a Sunday Evening so you cannot plan your working week or leisure time at all. Huge area to cover and hardly any staff so most of the times you end up visiting properties alone, which is not great when working Revenue Protection. Colleagues are amazing and our manager is but higher management are invisible.

Areas for improvement

Trust in colleagues

Energising work tasks

Small time lines. Always feel pressured

Overhead linesman (Current Employee) - All over - 19 December 2022

Expected to be on site for 7.30. Depending on the job, most of the time you could be climbing all day or the odd occasion get a little break which isnt enough considering the amount of physical heavy work you do

Pros

Paid 30 minute dinner

Cons

Dont often get dinner

Stay well clear management are bullies

Pre-enablement engineer (Former Employee) - Dorset - 25 November 2022

I worked here for 12 months love the job didn’t like the bullying tactics from the management. There is no such thing as work, life balance. And they mess you about with your money all the time. When I was working there, there was eight of us and we all left because it was that bad.

Pros

None

Cons

Conned by management

Energetic and proactive

Payroll Office assistant (Former Employee) - Stevenage, Hertfordshire - 9 October 2022

I personally really enjoyed working in People Services as a Payroll office Administrator. My line manager always made sure I was included in daily meetings and always felt appreciated. People Services was a very busy department indeed, but I felt great satisfaction in resolving employees queries.

Pros

Left early on Fridays

Jobs at M Group Services

Poor, unrespectful management

Meter Reader (Former Employee) - South West - 5 May 2022

M Group is a very poor company to work for. I was working in their metering division. The pay is all over the place some people doing the same job getting gauranteed a bonus, and some others on pay per read. Making there a lot of jealousy between employees. And there is no feeling of being part of a team.Just do your work and then forget about the job and go home.Only plus is you have the company vehicle to keep at home.I wouldn't recommend Morrison Data Services as a career. Maybe other parts of M Group are better. Ones without the ex management of G4S running it

Do not work here

Smart Meter Engineer (Former Employee) - London - 6 April 2022

Working here doing smart meters is not a good place to be too many jobs for the allotted time this being because of EONS process of commissioning is slow rubbish and cumbersome you will spend more time on the phone to technical support to get the meter working that’s if you can get it working otherwise put the old meter back on the wall even after all the pipe work cable change etc avoid like the plague some senior management sneaky every one is leaving this place STAY AWAYBack stabbing place

Pros

Some good mangers on the field

Cons

Sneaky senior managers

Excessive work volume and stressful

Planning & Noticing Officer (Former Employee) - Nelson - 2 April 2022

Training very poor, requested a one to one for training on several occasions which never took place. Work volume excessive, everyday a struggle to complete workload. This was felt across the whole team. Relaxed environment to work in but unfortunately very stressful due to the workload.

Great if you don't want to progress in life

Accoustic/usless logger (Current Employee) - North london - 29 March 2022

In the interview they was banging on about how you can progress and move up the ladder so to speak but none of this is possible. They string you along with terrible money and benefits and hope you don’t complain and when you do, you get the sack. Good work/life balance but it is continuously held against you. They are incredibly unprofessional in front of clients and expect you to conduct yourself as if you was the CEO even though you’re paid just above minimum wage for a brain dead job. Avoid if you want to improve your life. This employer will only erode your self worth and confidence.

A job for a few years ago, not anymore

Smart Meter Engineer (Former Employee) - Crawley, West Sussex - 21 February 2022

To begin with I was so happy with management and the way things were run, I was happy to turn up to work and even offer a lot of overtime. However, over the past year and a half things have changed so much I no longer work here. You can be bullied and made to feel as though you are not good enough at anything if you are to prove an auditor wrong. They often didn't know the procedures due to coming from other companies and/or not being 3phase trained but auditing my 3phase work, not understanding phase rotation for instance. All the good managers are gone, the pay is below average, and they want you think give your soul.
