Pros

There were very flexible with scheduling/hours. After working there for two years I got promoted to a shift manager.

Cons

Open til 3 am every night and never allowed to close early, even if you had only one customer between 10 pm and 2 am. Corporate audits were a bit extreme for a sandwich shop mainly run by college students.
