Etobicoke Guardian

Alright I'm gonna be honest with this review. I don't reccomend this job. It's more hard work than you think. (1) Theres ALOT of flyers and half the time the papers barley fit in the cart. (2) The carts suck, they always break and cost like $12. (3) The weather is a HUGE issue if it's to hot you don't want to work, and if it's too cold or raining outside you don't want to work becuase it's way to diffult. (4) Your reps don't care, there literally to get you started and to get more elastics. (5) It taked away your day, the flyers have to be delivered by 7 p.m on Thursday, Like you can't go out after school cause you have to deliver them, I get that it's a job and a responibility, me personally I go to school far away and take the bus and subway and don't get home t'ill about 4 o'clock and by then I have to study, and do homework, then eat dinner, I don't have the time to deliver them. (6) The pay is awful, for the work you do and all the flyers you get you only get oon average $60 a month! A month! (7) And last of all you move on so fast, and what I mean by that is before you quite you have to wait a month, or longer becuase they have to convince the sucker that this a good job. I'm 15 now and started when I was 12 and now I have a part time job everyday of the week and don't get home until 7, and I need to eat, and shower and go to bed to work the next day, in all honestly I just deliver them Friday morning before I work, If I get fired that would be so nice, so Guardian if you want to fire me, you know my e-mail. I hope this shows you the real thruth on delivering papers.

I would get a set of flyers on Tuesday. I would get another set of flyers on Wednesday and then I would get the actual newspaper on Thursday. On Thursday, I would have to put the sets of flyers in the newspaper and wrap it with an elastic band. I would then proceed to deliver it to 72 houses. It was an overall good experience because it taught me how to organize my things and be able to do certain tasks on time.

it was a nice easy job without any troubles
all you had to do was sort out papers and deliver them by a certain day, it was really quick so no troubles it took no more than one hour to complete

it was very easy to balance this job with school 
the only problem is that it doesn't pay as high as most people would hope for

you work by yourself 
they deliver the papers to your house and then you take it from there

It was my first official job and I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Coming home from school tired and getting ready to roll up several newspapers was tiring and overwhelming. I learned how the real world is nowadays. The hardest part of the job was walking around the neighborhood tired from school. The most enjoyable part was getting to learn through the way.

All my work was done at home as I was only a carrier but it is only a two-day job. On Wednesday you put the newspapers together and on Thursday together. I learned responsibility and how to keep my boss happy with my work. The management was great. The culture was nice as I communicated with various people throughout my time working here. No part was too hard and most parts were enjoyable.

There was not a lot of room for growth, but it's definitely a great first job to be a courier, and a good side job if you have an hour or two in your week to spare. It encourages a healthy lifestyle because you can walk through the neighborhood, and it promotes interaction as well. I got to meet some of my neighbors through this job!

I love having this job because I get some exercise doing it and get rewarded at the end of the month. I've met some of my neighbors. Even when it's very hot out side I still enjoy delivering. I enjoy delivering in the cold or rain. I don't care how hard it can be because I love having a challenge.

Delivering the paper was required once a week where I had to sort the flyers and then walk around the neighborhood placing the papers in each house mailbox.  It was a fairly easy job and I loved getting the fresh air and talking to all the neighbors.

One of the most free flowing, relaxing jobs I've ever had. To be able to work individually and at the same time meet and learn about my neighborhood was fascinating. Although it is only a one-person job, I enjoyed the free time I had and the easy workload.

while working it was a quick day at work. i have learned how to manage time well from delivering the newspaper to all the houses before 6pm. the hardest part of this job was delivering in bad weather.
