Pros

It is a great second job for people looking to earn some extra money. Most of your work hours will fall between 2am and 6 or 7am.

Cons

You can not always count on being done by 7am. If papers are late you will have to wait and you are still expected to do your route even if it causes problems with your primary job. You work seven days a week and are expected to find your own replacement if you need time off. You will never see a raise and in over 10 years I have seen 3 paycuts. By the time you caculate your expences you can expect to earn about $8 or $9 an hour.

Pros

Worked at the Journal Sentinel for over a year part time. Can be a fun place/environment to work in depending on the department. Decent experience for those just coming out of college with no other experience working in a professional work environment.

Cons

- Higher up management does little to help and does not listen to suggestions - Increase in responsibility is rewarded with pressure and nothing else - Instead of hiring for full time they continue to hire more part-time employees - There are those employees who do not do their jobs after years with the company and have not been fired - There is very little time for training a new employee - Many employees come and go within a year - Does not always feel like a professional work environment
