I met the relay truck every night, 365 nights a year, no days off sick or otherwise. I learned to manage a district with 3 routes that I had to oversee. I had 3 carriers under me. The hardest part of the job was the hours and the never being off and no vacation or sick time. The most enjoyable part of the job were the customer and getting to know them – more... and solving there problems. – less

New area's of growth selling internet and print media solutions.

Dallas Morning News was a great experience good pay learned and grew with the company.

Getting up very early in the morning to delivery the newspaper to my customers. If its raining,hot,cold or even snowing I was out delivering the newspaper. The hardest part was when the newspaper was sold to a carrier and I was laid off.

A typical day at work will depend on the weather condition.Its always fun.I learnt discipline with regards to time management.Co-workers are always fun and we help each other especially if someone is running late with their distribution.The hardest part of the job is when the weather condition is bad.The most enjoyable part is when you dont have any – more... vehicle problem or breakdowns. – less

The company was also solid but the industry itself was in going through major changes.

Typical day is walking in to roll all papers for your route(s) and then drive sed route and deliver papers door to door. Doing this I learned the in's and out's of many residental areas. The management there does the best they can with what they got, and they make sure to fit appropriate routes for those who may travel further then others, which I must – more... say is a nice consideration seeing as gas is expensive and the job is all driving. The hardest part of the job is the graveyard hours and big days like Sunday and having to roll, bag and fit large in size and amount of papers into one's car and deliver on time. As well as working 7 days a week which over time has it's toll on the body. My favorite part was that my day was free and there was no dress code, appearance restriction and no micro-mangement. As long as you got the job done, all was fine. And I highly appreciate being myself without restriction. – less

I worked with this company for almost 10 years. Seven of the years as a Sales Assistant. I enjoyed supporting the Account Executives; working with the layout department and creating ads for customers. Co-Workers were wonderful; lots of perks on this job.

over the years the dallas news has gotten away from the concept of employees make or break a bussiness. they have doubled the employee work load with little or no rise in compensation. the employees work in a hot, poorly vented warehouse. they have put money in the other departments but not in circulation/delivery. mgrs. and asst. mgrs. have taken several – more... cuts in pay to keep their jobs. – less

Traveling to customer sites to train them on BMIS
which was our banking system. I love to figure out what is wrong with a banks deposit.

Experience in supporting hardware and residential customers.
Duties required knowledge of call processing system and dedicated services
for probing
assisting customer in a timely manner

It was a hard job, having to get up uber early. I enjoyed it though. The days were long but that was ok. At Christmas time, the tips were great!

Dallas Morning News did a great job informing the community. The main issue was the news industry itself was on a decline. No matter where you went all papers were in the same boat.

i did not like working for this place.they couldn't speak English vary well.

Lower type style of work, company prefer to have contract work by onsite temps service with temps worker, low pay less than fourty hours work week; as a dallas morning news employee such as myself you are readily replace by lay-off and more hiring of temps; managerial position are less often or the most not handed out.
