The interview itself was about 5 minutes long and I was told to come back in a couple days to be put on the schedule. Assistant manager told me I could show up between a couple hours in the afternoon and talk to his boss. I show up within this range of hours. She is not there. Turns out, he told me the wrong time. I come back later, fill out paperwork, get put on the schedule. The manager then calls me *the afternoon* before I was supposed to work and says oops, sorry. Your id address doesn't match the one on the paperwork. You can go to this office for a change of address form. I go, talk to the right person. He says I have to go to the dmv or go online, and that he can't help. I finish the change of address, print it off and take it to the manager. She says, okay, I'll call and schedule you. Calls back the next day and says "hey I told you wrong. You need a different paper." Printed that one out, took it to her, and haven't gotten a call since. Very unprofessional.
Other Sandwich Artist Interview Reviews for Subway
It was good, basic techniques were told and questions about timings were asked, and then moved to training. Some team members are good and gave good training. Gave time to understand the instructions and how to complete different tasks. A lot of tasks are given so need to pay more attention.
Very easy no difficult questions, it’s subway, what do you expect? Fast food without the grease. Easy job but low pay and odd hours that they give you. Subway is obviously easy to get in with.
I applied online. I interviewed at Subway (Dayton, OH) in Jul 2026
Interview
I arrived on time for my scheduled 2:00 PM interview after driving approximately 20 minutes to the store. When I informed an employee that I was there for an interview, I was told the location was closing in two weeks. Since I had a scheduled interview, I waited about 10 minutes to speak with the hiring manager.
When we finally sat down, the hiring manager asked for my name and appeared ready to begin the interview. Before we started, I asked whether it was true that the store was closing. She confirmed that it was and then stated that they probably would not be moving forward with the interview process because of the upcoming closure.
At that point, the interview ended without any meaningful discussion of my qualifications.
If the store was already aware that it would not be hiring due to its impending closure, the professional and respectful course of action would have been to cancel the interview beforehand. Instead, I spent roughly an hour driving and waiting for an interview that had effectively been decided before I arrived. It demonstrated a lack of communication and consideration for applicants' time.
