Business Outlook
Pros
Short, early hours. Papers to be delivered before 7:30am, most routes take 2-4 hours depending on the size. Tips are great - especially around Christmas Ability to pick up of other routes. Friendly co-workers & sometimes ok staff. OK Pay - but you are paid per newspaper delivered.
Cons
Management per depot varies - but mine is terrible. Charges $5 per wet paper, $5 per missed paper, other errors can have $10 charges, all while you're paid around a quarter per paper to deliver, sometimes less for specialty papers. Lots of wear and tear to your car. Huge fees for your route being 'down' if you don't have someone to cover it if you're out of town last minute (emergencies, etc)
