Pros

Fun, drug-addled, alcoholic coworkers. Beats Jimmy John's.

Cons

Lousy pay, sub-par benefits, manipulative, dishonest management, tacky, shameless marketing, unfair expectations, poor food, and management typically works 65-70 hrs/week with no time off (upper management guilt trips you when you try to use vacation, and makes you tend the store remotely -- sick time non-existent). This job is exclusively for burnouts and sado-masochists, with the rare success stories belonging to morally bankrupt old, white men with prior corporate restaurant experience. Avoid like the plague.
