Pros

Free food and drink. That's it. Absolutely no other pro I can think of.

Cons

I wish I could rate my 2 years at Subway lower than 1. Struggling to think of a worst place to work. Management absolutely, unarguably do not care about employers, especially when they are struggling. Don't even answer the phone when there is an emergency in-store. I was a basic Sandwich Artist and was having to not only clean and close the store every night but also cash up the till, do paperwork and put money away in the safe. With all this stress, I wasn't even being paid more. These were Supervisor responsibilities. I never closed with a Supervisor, and was made to close with a trainee on my own when I also was technically a trainee. My training wasn't even finished, and completely forgotten about. So understaffed it was ridiculous. The chippie across the road had more staff on every night, and we were considerably busier. Used to go home with a stress headache every single night, and sometimes close myself in the freezer and simply just scream at the top of my lungs. Couldn't recommend this place any less. Boycotting for life. Absolutely stay away at all costs.

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.
