Pros

The job is fairly easy. During lunch time it's very hectic and during dinner almost nothing at all. They have an assembly line basically where someone pulls meat, someone cuts bread, someone, and someone wraps the subs. That makes your job specific. Cashier is probably the best one since you are just standing there taking orders.

Cons

The benefits to working here are not even that good. You only get a free meal if working 8 hour + shifts. Usually understaffed and would have to do all the jobs by yourself which people then complain about it taking longer than expected. BIGGEST PROBLEM is you cannot get off a shift by calling a manager. One would think that it would work better if employees have to figure out who covered their shifts, but its complete madness. Sometimes some people had emergencies and could not get off their shift because employees would not cover it and at that point they were understaffed. There needs to be another system in place for that!!!!

Pros

Decent pay and bonuses Potential for a laid back environment Very clean store

Cons

Current GM is terrible with the schedule, constant last minute changes with little to no notice of said changes. Also no notice when a new schedule was out. GM will blame the person for not seeing last minute changes and has penalized people in the past for it. GM flirts with most women that come into the store, even though he has a wife and kids. The drive through headsets will damage your hearing, as there isn't any audio cut off, so people can start cars in your ear at full volume. Grease trap gets cleaned every sunday and makes the entire store smell like sewage New owners are getting rid of PTO for any management employees Part time only and no benefits even as a manager other than a small bonus Employees and management refuse to wear beard nets even when clearly unsanitary Very drama filled environment
