Pros

- My manager was very accommodating/understanding to my work schedule. Sometimes I would get swamped with projects in school, and as long as I could find a replacement I could call off. - You learn the strengths of your coworkers (like who is faster at cutting bread, putting the veggies, or working the register), which allows you to find the best way to work quickly and efficiently as a team. - You will learn to have patience if you don't already. Of course you will always encounter the rude, annoying, and mean customers regardless of how nice you are no matter where you work, but you'd be surprised how crazy some people can get over a sub.. or even a free cookie! - When I first worked there, we got a 6inch sub meal for free (only when we were working). After 6 months, management changed the rule and we only got 50% off. Yes that's still an amazing deal, but nothing beats completely free hahah.

Cons

Don't really have any legitimate cons... just some small nit-picky things that aren't much to complain about. For example, it's always hot cause you're in front of the ovens. As a college student, I would sometimes have to work in the morning right before classes. Because of the lack of time, I wouldn't be able to shower and would smell like "Subway" or the classic bread smell all day haha.

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.
