ProsThe employees i work with are really nice and very willing to teach me and give me a hand on things i don't know.

Baltimore, MD (US)

Current Employee – been working at Subway full-time for more than a year

ProsOffers great opportunities to a lot of people. Very accepting internally and competitive externally. Really wants franchisees to earn a profit. Easy to expand.

ConsIs becoming more and more saturated and has high demands. DA is demands a lot and offers little help. Not sure their "consultants" understand how to run a business. DA consultants seem to know more about what HQ wants than what a franchisee can do.

Advice to Senior ManagementProvide more support via DA and less negativity

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
