I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Subway (Waterloo, IA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I put an online application in on a Monday and was called that following Friday for an interview on that following Monday. I got to the interview and she had me fill out a paper application before we actually started the interview. When I finished, I went into the manager's office for a very casual 45 minute "interview". It was more like a conversation than an interview. She was very open about her personal life and wanted to know more about mine, my availability, etc. I was looking for a part time job after my full time job (5pm and later). Towards the end of the interview she told me she thought I would be great in a leadership role as a shift leader, but that she had one other interview and would call me by Friday to let me know their decision. Friday afternoon I got a phone call from her saying that they had not yet made a decision but she would call me the following week and let me know. A week went by, then two and I received a letter in the mail saying that I was not selected for the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your favorite sport and how can you relate that to working in a team oriented environment?
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
