Pros

They let you wear Jeans, that's about all i can think of

Cons

The only compensation for fuel that driver's get is 5% of the total sells they deliver, which would be fine if they had a minimum order amount of like $15 or $20 like virtually every other food place on earth that delivers, but they don't. They expect you to deliver orders as small as 4.50 sometimes which can work out to driving several miles for < 25 cents and whatever the customer decides to tip you which isn't going to be much if they only bought 4.50 worth of food. I've worked at about 5 different delivery places over the years, both big chain and mom & pop owned businesses and Jimmy John's is hands down the worst. It basically amounts to putting a bunch of wear and tear on your vehicle and getting not much more than minimum wage for it. The town I work in has another Jimmie Johns store a few miles away and they also periodically expect drivers to drive there to pick up supplies literally for nothing, I guess they think hiring you makes your vehicle and fuel company property or something.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
