Pros

The staff I managed made the job bearable. And the fact that the title company - Subway - is all around a great company to be associated with. Classic and familiar fast food that serves a more health conscious society, something that carried a since of pride, or perhaps value.

Cons

The actually franchise owners were fairly awful given the region. Minimum wage, with very little hope where raises were concerned and when they were rewarded the increments were very small and normally only accompany a promotion and there are only so many titles to go around. In such an industry where turn around is very high, they did little to reward or show gratitude for the loyalty of the hard working staff of which the franchise was very lucky to have. And as someone who worked with the auditing and paper trail aspect of our particular location - there was really more that could have been done.

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”
