Pros

Working alongside like minded individuals kept me working there for over 2 years. I looked forward to seeing my regular customers in this fast-paced environment!

Cons

Being a slave to a Franchisee has its downsides. No set raise schedule, no one notices a hard worker, and owners trying to pinch every penny (sometimes losing a regular customer in the process) does add stress to this somewhat relaxed environment. Every location varies by the Franchise Owner of course.

Pros

Literally nothing was good about working for subway

Cons

-you get to see how unsanitary and not real the food is -management is always a nightmare with franchise establishments -stressful environment with a constant expectation to run the full store alone -scheduling is inconsistent and management always will overwork and underpay -attempts to wage garnish at every turn asking you to clock out and finish tasks before leaving or taking tips from card transactions if you “make a mistake”
