Pros

I loved the standards that are expected to be met at JJ’s. They truly do have high standards when it comes to ingredients, cleanliness, speed, accuracy and quality.

Cons

The pay Definitely needs to be higher - for all employee’s but especially for managers. Managers at Jimmy John’s do A Lot. Owners need to see and respect that. Hours were long. (we were on/by the University of Alabama campus - so hours were basically 24/7) Also, getting more than 2 days off in a row was basically impossible.
