Business Outlook
Pros
If you really need a job, this is the place for you. I worked night shift in the packaging department over a summer between semesters of school because I needed money to pay for rent. I would not recommend this job as a career path to anyone unless you cannot conceivably get another job. Although the work hours are short due to the natural scheduling of newspaper packaging, the work is mind-numbingly repetitive and at times very hectic. The pay is pretty low and since the hours are short the paychecks can be very small. This job is best for people who need anything they can get or for a second job.
Cons
Working in the packaging department is tedious and repetitive.
