Pros

Jimmy Johns was a great place to work. Best reasons include: the friends you will make, time goes by fast working "freaky fast," very flexible. Jimmy John's are usually located near colleges therefore college kids usually work at them. If you need to take some time off, it is understood. There is a lot of sanwiches to remember but once you get them down, it's cake. It's funny listening to people talk about how fast you are. You don't even realize it after you've worked there for a certain amount of time though. Plus, if you work four hours some JJ's, you get free food. Yummy.

Cons

After working there for five years, I was only making $7.25. I had the chance to be a shiftleader and make $8.25 but didn't want to. I did a great job and was praised often but hardly ever got a raise. People that were incapable of being a shiftleader were made shiftleaders just because the place was desperate for them. It's hard to keep people here in the beginning because there is sooo much to remember. You have to take a test when you get hired so you'll be studying those sandwiches! Don't get discouraged though. It's not that bad!

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.
