Pros

Good food, Good people. Can be fun at times. Fast Pace.

Cons

It's stupid u have take take a sandwich test and memorize all 17 sandwiches. Dollar subdays can be really stressful! If you don't have anything to work on they will send u home! The uniform dress code is strict. No sickdays have to find someone to work for u. I'm barely making enough to get by here.
