Pros

The compensation is on par with the industry. They were great with working around my personal schedule. The job can actually be fun if you enjoy interacting with people.

Cons

There isn't much room for advancement. Subway's average store has only one manager,often being the owner, so its hard to advance.

Pros

The management at least at my store treats the employees as equals, not just cogs in a machine. Customers seem to be more tolerant than at other places i've worked, and last but not least. Free food. :P

Cons

It's a minimum wage job. There are little growth opportunities, besides moving to assistant manager. Which typically takes longer than most people want to work at Subway. Corporate tends to manage stores based on what gives the best appearance rather than a mix of both aesthetics and efficiency.
