Pros

My franchisee gave us a free sub every shift which was convenient. Also not bad health wise as far as fast food goes.

Cons

It depends on how your franchisee runs the business, but some are very stingy and under-staff heavily. This can leave you working alone with a lot of customers to sever and a lot of cleaning to do before you close the store at night. Usually in this situation you won't get out on time and your employer probably won't pay you for extra time. Minimum wage.

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”
