Pros

It's a job that anyone can get, as long as they can look presentable.

Cons

Jimmy expects 20% profit from corporate stores. You have to work a minimum of 8 consecutive hours in order to receive a free sandwich with chips and a drink; otherwise you have to pay for anything you want to eat. Delivery drivers are not compensated very well. Also Jimmy has told his managers to NOT hire "Mexicans because they will throw away the unsliced ham then grab it from the trash after work to take home to feed their families"; and that if they have any Mexicans working for them to fire said Mexicans.

Pros

It was a nice, friendly environment with good coworkers. Being the delivery driver and having some autonomy + the ability to leave the shop was pretty nice as well.

Cons

Pay wasn't great, and it puts a lot of stress on your car. Also, work environments can vary from place to place, so I wouldn't expect every single Jimmy John's to have as great staff as mine did.
