Pros

The manager was a nice guy, but that was it. his hands were tied regarding raises, job security (if a 'secret shopper' came and you put more then 6 black olives, tomatoes, banana peppers etc) on a sub you would be fired on the spot. the only way we could get a raise is if the store made higher sales, regardless of your quality as an employee

Cons

I had to work the dinner rush all by myself, there was literally a line out the door for hours. the only way we could get a raise is if the store made higher sales, regardless of your quality as an employee, so I was stuck with minimum wage indefinitely. If you failed to say 'welcome to subway' within 3 seconds of a customer walking in you could get written up, if that happened to a secret shopper you would get fired. this job was the worst.

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.
