I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Subway (Riverside, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
I walked in and asked if they were hiring, they told me I could print out an application online and the manager will be there till 5. Filled out my application and turned it in the same day, the manager interviewed me on the spot, basic questions, why do you want to work here, whats your availability etc... She told me I would need a for handlers card if hired When I left I went and took the test for my food handlers card. She called back about 6pm and said I got the job, thats when I informed her that I just got my food handlers card, so she started my training 2 days later.
Very easy no difficult questions, it’s subway, what do you expect? Fast food without the grease. Easy job but low pay and odd hours that they give you. Subway is obviously easy to get in with.
I applied online. I interviewed at Subway (Dayton, OH) in Jul 2026
Interview
I arrived on time for my scheduled 2:00 PM interview after driving approximately 20 minutes to the store. When I informed an employee that I was there for an interview, I was told the location was closing in two weeks. Since I had a scheduled interview, I waited about 10 minutes to speak with the hiring manager.
When we finally sat down, the hiring manager asked for my name and appeared ready to begin the interview. Before we started, I asked whether it was true that the store was closing. She confirmed that it was and then stated that they probably would not be moving forward with the interview process because of the upcoming closure.
At that point, the interview ended without any meaningful discussion of my qualifications.
If the store was already aware that it would not be hiring due to its impending closure, the professional and respectful course of action would have been to cancel the interview beforehand. Instead, I spent roughly an hour driving and waiting for an interview that had effectively been decided before I arrived. It demonstrated a lack of communication and consideration for applicants' time.
Easy process. Overall easy going job but low pay and can be busy at times. Created great friendships with the boss and a few co workers since most of the time there was only two people there
