The stated hours of work where 08.00 to 17.00, with an alleged one hour lunch break, but no installer really took the break. More realistically you will prolly work till between 18.00 and 19.00, seeing as the ntl Install Support Office is open till 20.00 its conceiveable you'll work right upto 20.00. The bad thing about residential installing is that you never know how big a job is gonna be untill you turn up at the door. So say goodbye to any possible social life you may have during the week.
Two things I forgot to post earlier.
1). McNics (when I worked there) had a habbit of docking 20% of your weekly wages if you have to take a day off. So if you go down with a bad cold/ flu you may as well take the rest of the week off. Its bugger all fun loosing a days wages due to illness or a family emergency, and then loosing another days pay because you had to take a day off without warning the boss.
2). As an installer, and especially a sub-contracted installer you will be treated like a lying, lazy, worthless piece of s**te by ntl. You are lower than the **** on the bottom of a pond. But then again they seem to treat their own employees just as badly.
But good luck with the job all the same mate.
