I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Subway (New York, NY) in Jun 2020
Interview
Applied online to multiple Subway locations. Received a call exactly a week later from one location and an interview was scheduled the next day.
I arrived 15 minutes early. There were 3 managers who were interviewing me and they were super friendly and made me feel comfortable! They asked extremely standard questions (the questions people leave here are super helpful) and other questions regarding availability, transportation, school, etc.
I received a call later that same day with a job offer. Honestly, smile, be genuine, shake hands and you'll have no problem even if you're shy like me! Don't forget to say thank you on the way out. Good luck!
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Describe a time you had a disagreement with your superior at work/school and how did you handle it.
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.
