Pros

I really can't think of any pros except for our legs will really get toned from the constant standing. I suppose the wage would be good if you had six robot arms. The warehouse supervisor is nice

Cons

The work is a little tough, you have to pack at least $10.50 of bundles an hour and I could only get around $6.15 an hour and that's going as fast as humanly possible. Though they do bump up your pay to 10.50 if you cant reach it, after 3 weeks if you still cant get it you'll get fired. It's hot in the warehouse and no where to really go and rest for breaks, most just stand at their work station or sit underneath it. Hours are not organized, some days are marked '8am - finish' which means you could be there for 11 to 12 hours. It's kind of in the middle of no where so you might want a car for lunch and getting there.

Pros

-As a student the working hours are available *most* of the time. -Starmail pays better than other local newspaper delivery companies.

Cons

-Newspaper delivery requires SO much of your time! -It takes up the ENTIRE evening for every day from the day they drop off the papers, Monday, to the day of delivering, Thursday. It's just not enough time! -They only pay you for the actual delivering, but bundling and preparing the papers takes up to 6 hours, and the delivering takes about 2 hours. NOT worth it. -Again, as a student, I'd say that all this time taken into preparing the newspaper bundles leaves little time for homework and projects.
