      Pros

      Young staff/managers, fun people, short shifts, easy menu, no grease, simple tasks, great music, good food, very clean. The managers work with you and you get to know them very well and it's a very fun friendly atmosphere. You usually get sent home early when it's slow, which is alright unless you have bills to pay. You get a pretty good discount on sandwiches. You work in a small kitchen with everyone so it's easy to get to know each other. Constant schedule, mine hasn't been changed once, making things easy to plan for.

      Cons

      The district manager stops in sometimes and is way too serious about what he does. Monthly audits put everyone on edge, very corporate, lots of rules. Strict dress code (comfortable clothes though). As an in shopper there is a 11-3 and 5-8 shift. Working both is the only way to get real hours. No benefits, raises, etc. There are times when it is very slow and once your done cleaning you stand around feeling bad about standing around, mostly people play on their phones or talk to each other but if your not really friends with your co-workers it gets boring. If you want a day off you have to find someone to work for you (which they usually don't) I've had to go in sick. You have about 3 managers which all have diffrent expectations, but it isn't hard to adapt.

      This isn't a place you would want to work for more than a year.

      Pros

      Easy to move up through the company. Good for a first time job or a teenager. Discounts on the sandwiches.

      Cons

      No clearly defined break times. Upper management (Area Managers and higher) can be really anal about insignificant things. Drivers don't get any real compensation for running their cars in the ground for the company. The scheduling can be disorganized depending on who the general manager is.
