What are service engineers saying about pay at BT?

Work environment, benefits and pay

Poor middle management

Best thing
It’s secure. Pay is ok
Worst thing
Change for change sake without really understanding the impact of it to all areas. Systems are poor. So many different contracts that staff are on so it’s not fair across the board. There are people on part time hours being paid far more than others on full time contracts. New starter contract are far worse
