Pros

Work for the #1 quick service franchise in the world. Health benefits were decent. Location was great if you have a car (free parking). Random Subway "gifts" through out the year. Decent Salary (although not paid enough to deal with the office politics). Regular 8:30am-5pm Mon-Fri hours.

Cons

Salary too low to deal with office politics. Zero room to grow in the company. Office drama. Poor management. EXTREME favouritism. Toxic work environment. No one backs you up when you're right. HR located in US so they always fall back on office manager which gets swept under the rug. Boss is quick to yell at you and TWIST your words so you sound like you're insulting her all the time. Only 30 minute lunch (timed) so not much time if you don't bring a lunch. only 7 minute breaks. If you're on time but system take long to load to punch in you're considered late.

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”
