Pros

There are none at this location

Cons

You get paid minimum wage (Oklahoma it's $7.50/hour) They schedule you 2-4 hour shifts unless closer. Our location hired too many and cut everyone hours and now you don't get free 6 in unless 4 hours or more You don't get a break unless you smoke. Unrealistic, have to have 30 things done in a 2 hour shift and make sandwhiches. Ant even afford to eat here, no discounts.

Pros

You only get charged a few dollars for a sandwich!

Cons

Subway's management, especially in the Tucson area, is more interested in saving money than making sure their employees are taken care of. If management realizes that you are responsible and capable, you will often find yourself working stores alone. This makes the manager's hours look good and saves them $10.50 an hour. This means you are handling customers, maintaining the store, prepping food, ect. completely alone, regardless of volume, for minimum wage. This also leads to what may feel like an unsafe work environment as well. Employees do get robbed and it happens when they are working alone. Communication is also lacking. Managers are stretched so thin that they are rarely around certain stores. I often learned of new sales promotions and changes from customers while working there. The lack of communication leads to a lot of problems.
