The job is not golden goose it once was i worked there when centrica took it over as a patrol but left few years later when terms and conditions were eroded as use to get a lot of time off, use to work one week a month in june/july/august if i planned it right with rest days and annual leave but like everything for working person it never lasts i was taking home £2000 a month back in 2000 s same as recovery drivers which was decent money then.
I still know people working there and been told new recruits only lasting a week then going back to main dealers garages etc and only taking home £500 a week now with more overtime/standby days/sales targets been forced on them etc.
