Pros

Some of the Pros I've found when working for SUBWAY have been the flexibility of scheduling, and most owners offer their employees meals at either discounted prices or completely free while working. Some even go so far as to offer family discounts of 10% when you're on the clock. The work is easy enough.

Cons

The stress! The stress alone of running a store is not worth what I get paid, let alone the stress of a micro-managing owner. Store owners are often more concerned with their profit, which I suppose I understand from a business point of view, however, how are you going to have an efficiently operating store if you under-appreciate your employees? Finding people to work is difficult since the Subway name has been marred with bad publicity. Often my employees work shifts by themselves because we are under staffed and over worked. The pay does not equate the work we do, not by a long shot.

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.
