Pros

Jimmy Johns was very flexible with my school schedule and that made it easy to keep my job for two years. The people who I worked with were great and became really good friends.

Cons

I wish I could have worked there longer but I graduated from high school and needed more money. I probably could have looked into a management position but instead I moved to a different store.

Great place to work

Pros

The atmosphere is business when it's busy, but more forgiving than other places I've worked. As a driver, you can make a decent amount of money in just a few hours

Cons

As a driver, if business is slow, you may not make much money on some days. As with every other job that relies on tips, the money isn't always consistent.

Pros

Very structured work environment Simple, basic tasks are quickly acquired and put into practice Extremely clean

Cons

Many of the procedures are dictated from the top of the chain and are not open to critique or questioning. Managers are not given many answers to why things are done a certain way. Very little flexibility in what we can do to better serve customers. Workers are not highly valued.
