Whether you’re a wordsmith who’s passionate about storytelling, a visual artist that has a unique perspective, or someone who wants to connect with local businesses and help tell their story, we want to work with the best in Rochester.
Distribution Drivers
CITY distributes throughout the greater Rochester area, as far out as Brockport, Geneseo, Canandaigua, and points in between.
The job is simple:
Pick up paperwork (“route sheets”) and the assigned number of magazines (in bundles of 50).
Deliver the number of magazines assigned to each stop (“drop”).
Count and record the number of remaining previous issues (“returns”).
Promptly return route sheets – accurate and complete.
Recycle the returns or bring them back for recycling.
The job is physical and involves lifting, walking, stair climbing, etc. – as well as the occasional garbage removal (and disposal), and tidying up. The means to drive through all weather is required. Knowing your way around is an asset – but the job will teach you if you don’t.
The job also involves interacting with people and being a friendly face for CITY.
The pay is $3 per stop. A reliable vehicle is required.
A route may have 30 to 60+ stops, cover 25 to 100+ miles, and take 6 to 8 hours to complete. Some routes are condensed while others may cover a greater distance with fewer stops. For this reason, routes may be rotated among drivers through the year, if viable.
Routes must be completed on delivery day, which is typically* Friday after the last Thursday of the month.
There may be additional opportunities throughout the year to earn bonuses for additional deliveries.
*There are exceptions to this schedule depending on when the 1st of the month falls or if issues are strategically held to be distributed around an event.
