METROLAND MEDIA Employer Reviews

Terrible Work Environment and Pay
Did not listen to your problems
Would charge $1 a month a house

working at metroland was the most rewarding job. my job was to basically call customers on behalf of company to ensure they received their newspaper,however there were days where the manager would switch it up i would print flayers, hire people to deliver the flyers, package the newspaper and get them read, and at times because im an accounting student – more... i would sit and observe how the accounts did real life accounting rather book based at the university. i had great co-workers the only problem was that we were not many, so the workload varied, at times it would more or less. other than that there was nothig i found lacking at metroland media and if it were switching schools i wouldnt have left it. – less

I deliver the papers three times a week which isn't too bad for me. It takes me about an hour to collate the papers on Wednesday and Friday (2 hours on Thursday) Delivering the papers is a half hour on Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday has the most amount of flyers to insert into the paper.

nice place to work. people are nice and helpful. the work is repetitive but steady. the wage is too small, some workers work harder than others and are assigned more than one hopper on the machine at a time for the whole 7.5 hrs.

Fast pace non stop working 12 hour days .My co-workers were great and fun to work with

A good company to learn all about the print industry. Very fast paced environment with short deadlines. A good group of people to work with. Some days are long and tedious. Getting to see your work printed is my favourite part of the job.

Metroland Media Group is one of Canada's largest media companies, being a subsidiary of TorStar Corp. You would think that with an organization this big growth and advancement opportunities within the company would be mroe readily available and obtainable. Major downsizing and cost-cutting over the last couple of years has left this company devoid of – more... any real growth opportunities within its many divisions.

That said, it has been decent place of employment for the 4 years I have worked here, with no real major complaints. – less
