Many Pluses and Negatives

Pros

Had three amazing managers, Very flexible work schedule with school, 50% off many subs, easy job to learn, met some really cool people.

Cons

Not the best co-workers at times: lazy adults, lazy high school or college students. Some dumb rules that truly made no sense. Low pay but it's an unskilled so it makes sense. Angry and just some plain rude customers.

Pros

Easy work. Not a hard job. All you have to do is show up and make sandwiches. No one expects anything of you.

Cons

Too much to do on your own, not much help, no communication, terrible hours/little flexibility. No one wants to stay, hours are always changing.

Pros

Some of the Pros I've found when working for SUBWAY have been the flexibility of scheduling, and most owners offer their employees meals at either discounted prices or completely free while working. Some even go so far as to offer family discounts of 10% when you're on the clock. The work is easy enough.

Cons

The stress! The stress alone of running a store is not worth what I get paid, let alone the stress of a micro-managing owner. Store owners are often more concerned with their profit, which I suppose I understand from a business point of view, however, how are you going to have an efficiently operating store if you under-appreciate your employees? Finding people to work is difficult since the Subway name has been marred with bad publicity. Often my employees work shifts by themselves because we are under staffed and over worked. The pay does not equate the work we do, not by a long shot.
