Pros

Good food, Good people. Can be fun at times. Fast Pace.

Cons

It's stupid u have take take a sandwich test and memorize all 17 sandwiches. Dollar subdays can be really stressful! If you don't have anything to work on they will send u home! The uniform dress code is strict. No sickdays have to find someone to work for u. I'm barely making enough to get by here.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
