Pros

Flexibility, fun(usually), training is easy and actually helps you, opportunities to earn raises (very few), decent money.

Cons

Very few opportunities to move up. Personally - completely incompetent assistant manager who's job should belong to me.

Pros

Free lunch, free breakfast, awesome co-workers, free movies every month, annual reviews including raises and typically an annual bonus based on the company's performance.

Cons

Management is secretive, health benefits are ridiculously expensive, only a 30 minute unpaid lunch as a break. Recently they eliminated our two paid 7 minute breaks...they claim it decreases productivity even though we all know it increases productivity. Also, they constantly remind us that we are the greatest team in franchising history...but we are notoriously underpaid and overworked!

Pros

Very simple to get up to speed with the most senior members since the sandwiches are very simple and so is the cashier system. You can get as many hours as you want if you're a reliable employee and are willing to pick up shifts when other employees need time off/quit/get fired (all of which happens quite often at Subway)

Cons

The turnover is incredible. The five months I worked there, I ended up working with about a dozen new people at least. The pay is measly at best, but if you want overtime, you can get it without any of the management complaining about it. The customers are generally friendly, but some can be demanding, rude, and condescending.
