Pros

Work with friends, develop a hard work ethic. Easy to move up if you want to go that route.

Cons

To Jimmy John's, you are a replaceable robot, not a human being. Whether you are a general manager, any sort of assistant, or just a driver, you do not mean anything to anybody besides bringing in money and devoting your life to the company. Horrible chain of command that treats others despicably from top to bottom. Low pay, no raises, unless you want to become a manager and say goodbye to any upside in your life. Long hours, no breaks, and no employee discount. Every day is a constant reminder that you mean nothing and the company simply does not care about you.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
