GLOBE AND MAIL

This job was a responsible task that took great memory for each house's specific specifications for there paper/adds/t.v. guides, or placement of each paper due to either disabilities or elderly age. Atypical day for this work is a simple routine involving meeting at the paper's drop off area, sorting out witch papers for each route, then delivering each paper once assigned too there buyers, after route is complete job is done. The co-workers were okay at times sometimes people would get grumpy but our choice of work. The hardest and most enjoyable part of the Globe is during the winter your struggling almost everyday but during your struggles your customers notice your efforts and give you a wonderful tip for the year it's a satisfaction to your efforts.

This job was very enjoyable if you like driving at night far distances in any weather. The vehicle repairs are very costly wich is a big dent in your pay check. I would do my own repairs to save money but would work from 1am till about 5 or 7 pm the next day. And this goes on 6 days a week so there is really no personal or family time. Driving at night with unreasonable deadlines made for many accidents hitting dear and also falling asleep from exhaustion leaving you in the ditch several times.

I love Globe and Mail. Don't get me wrong there.Journalists are top notch.

But, Data Science team is not managed well. 
Their job descriptions don't match real work.
They throw Artificial Intelligence jargon just to get funding from government. 

During interviews, ask them why 5 of their Data Scientists left in last 2 years.

This demands so much commitment as I work from midnight to early morning.  The hardest part is when the newspapers come in late but has to get to subscribers early before they leave in the morning.  I enjoy this work as I got to know some of the subscribers especially Christmas with their gifts.

Managerial positions at the time of being employed there were what contributed to the poor scoring experience there. It was the first time I was introduced to office politics, and between colleagues a sense of exclusion . Definitely not a company I would want to work for again . 

the work was great, able to work at a set pace and outdoors. The agent in charge was extremely negative and came down hard on her employees, even for the smallest mistakes.

Job/lifestyle balance is ok if your a night-owl, but difficult job if you have a day job (which you need as the pay rate is low). Great for semi-retired and empty nesters.

Working for the Globe and Mail as a sound recordist for a pilot in their series of shorts posted online. No pay, but a great environment to meet higher end producers and make a name for myself.

Fast paced, big learning curve. Circulation is an entry level position, however, opportunities arise to transfer inter-departmentally.
