Demeaning, dehumanizing experience. - Anonymous employee Jimmy John's Employee Review

Low pay, tons of cleaning, poor management. I felt like Cinderella always cleaning and being yelled at about not doing things correctly. Never trained properly. I was a driver, but spent too much time cleaning, answering phones, and making sandwiches. Management was always in the weeds, even when it wasn't busy. They were fearful of audits from corporate, so everything was scrutinized to the point of nano-management. Drivers get minimum wage, plus 5% of the sale, and any tips you get. What is 5% of a $5.50 sandwich? The answer is: a joke. Most customers are cheap. You will get stiffed a lot. There are also split shifts, where you might work 4-6 hours in the morning/afternoon, then take an hour break, then work another 4-6 hours. That's a lot of time to spend cleaning and delivering $6 orders.
