Pros

work/life balance. comfortable place to work if you are not looking to develop and are complacent with where you are in life. Free items throughout the year Thanksgiving: turkey, Fall: Apples, Summer: Watermelon

Cons

old and fat workforce which increases insurance cost for all employees 1000 - handicaps parking spaces (aren't we supposed to be an "eat fresh" brand? Healthy? TERRIBLE benefits (dismal) TERRIBLE pay (well below industry standards - which accounts for the most of the under performing employees) - you pay for what you get uneducated leadership - secretaries promoted to director levels no experience or diversity among leadership/managers/director - long standing employees that are only aware of the "Sub"way and have no perspective of other ways of doing things out side the box too cheap to invest in technology

Pros

Future Growth - Charting an Uncertain future, Decent Benefits - Standard Wages

Cons

Outsourcing - Inexperienced and Untrained Foreign 'Consultants/Partners' running projects and day to day activities. Death of a Culture - New Management has decided that a 'Corporation' 'Modern' Culture wins over one that of a 'Small Company' / Family feel of the Older culture. Experienced Employees have been laid off or Leaving due to the above. Uncertain Future - Admittedly by Management the Future is still being figured out.
