TORONTO STAR NEWSPAPER

A typical day at work would be very tiring. When I applied, I applied with my sister and when we got trained all we had to do was memorize a script type of thing because we would go door to door and say what we had to say. I didn't really learn anything other than if we get people to sign up for this company we can get them to help us with our college fees. The hardest part of the job was just walking around for hours trying to convince people to sign up for this company because we get paid whether or not we get people to sign up. The most enjoyable part of the job was pay week because I didn't really enjoy the job.

This was a great paying job. I worked in the maintenance department. The job was sometimes challenging but more often it was routine. The equipment was somewhat dated and was only updated when absolutely necessary. Needless to say the equipment being dated and prone to failure which was why I was so gainfully employed. The plant closure in 2016 was a disappointment for many of us. The company was generous with its severance. Overall this was a great company to work for.

The projects are fun to work with and the internal clients are pleasant to work with as well.
The management where friendly and supportive.
The culture has changed a bit because there has been so many cut backs and they are hiring are new to it that takes time for them to get the culture.
No complains about the hardest part of the job, I don't think there's one.
And my workmates are awesome.

A typical day at works involves traveling into very rich areas, often upper class or middle-class citizens. And convincing them to purchase the Newspaper. Your salary is dependant on the sales you make. For every sale you make you get a commission. There will be days where you make no sales, meaning you don't get paid.

The paper has a strong, successful investigative bent. However it has had considerable difficulty adapting to online platforms.The work culture and management style as a result suffered.

I learned ways to communicate with the customers and i had fun working with my team members. The most enjoyable part of the job is to communicate with different people every single day and i get to learn alot from those people.

Friendly and professional company to work for.  If I ever had a question they were always there for me. They were a great group of people. It was a very positive environment and they treated the contractors with respect. 

It was a good experience in customer service I really felt like I grew personally and professionally it gave me the ability to improve my communication skills as well.
