Great job and people. Willing to train if lacking experience. Good benefits. Provides company vehicles and equipment for job duties. Drawback is pay was severely lacking for job duties.

Company vehicle, ppe provided, quarterly meal provided for meeting, good benefits

Cons

Pay is subpar compared to job duties

Simple

Job is pretty simple! You make decent money it, and you outside all day! You go from house to house updating utility meters. Only bad part is the weather some days. But other than that Can’t complain!

Pros

Working by yourself

Cons

Not much
Was this review helpful?

Easy and fun

It is a very easy job where you just walk around all day reading meters. The management tries to make you go faster but as long as your trying you should be fine

wishy washy

We as the crew were not kept in the loop on how much work we had left. In fact it was purposefully obfuscated only to be warned aday prior of layoff.

The hours and schedule are the only things decent

Management is terrible most wont even help. They don’t even train you fully and expect you to exceed the expectations. They ask about your medical and personal time off where they shouldn’t. They curse and say a lot they shouldn’t towards employees

Pros

Set schedule and offer way to make up time

Cons

They will belittle you and push you into working even though your sick, have personal reasons, or anything.

Drove many miles per day. Dealt with weather good and bad! Had to deal with angry dogs! Fast pace work! Had to be 99.9% accurate each month!

Low Moral, Huge Workload, 6 Days a week is the usual.

You start at $16/hour and the first few days is watching videos, doing paperwork and practicing reading meters. Your first day in the field you do nothing but ride with a supervisor and watch them, this day is mostly spent on the road chatting and making you think the job is kind of easy. The next 3 days you ride and read meters with a trainer. By day two they expect you to be as fast as a person who's been doing it for years. If you're not they start chewing you out and not subtly threatening your employment. After 3 days of training you're on your own. Most weeks Saturdays are mandatory and you'll get time and a half if you didn't call out on any of the weekdays. Some routes are ok, some are hard as he'll. Be prepared to walk 15 miles in the rain and run from big angry dogs on the worse days. I quit after learning why I was covering a guys route. He got mauled by a dog and they wouldn't say how badly. I hope he's ok. Oh, after 3 months there your pay caps out at $19 an hour. Even if you stay for multiple years.

Decent Job

Field Service Tech responsible for non climbing electric meter work. Perform meter turn on/offs, meter rereads, meter exchanges and load meter tests. Techs cover defined areas and work in all types of weather. No one looking over your shoulder as long as you do your job and do give reason for audits. Company understanding of family life and issues. Only 1 week of vacation, but would let you off work with almost no issues as long as you explained why time-off needed.

Pros

Company understanding of Family life.

Cons

No raises.

This is a temporary position with very low pay.

TruCheck is a subcontractor for Xcel Energy. It is a very low skill level company with no benefits for employees. Employees can purchase health insurance at a ridiculous cost in comparison to earning ability. Everyone is hired at minimum wage and there are no potential increases. The management is lower level, but they do their best to work with employees.

Pros

Energy company experience

Cons

Pay, career potential, benefits

Low pay, no advancement

You get paid by the meter. The more you read, the more you get paid. Everyone gets $21000 a year base salary. Some routes have more meters some less. There is NO opportunity for advancement.
