Pros

Opportunities for advancement exist and if you are going to manage in quick service restaurants, Subway is a good choice. Stores are cleaner due to their being no fried foods and most do not have drive-thru service allowing you to focus on the customer experience inside the restaurant.

Cons

Management support can be inadequate depending on the ownership. Some owners do not have assistant managers in place at all, placing responsibility on the manager for all shifts. Pay and benefits are not as good as McDonalds.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
