Absurd expectations without proper compensation.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Delivery tips can be pretty substantial. Flexibility in hours with the option for generous time-off. Friendly franchise-owners and well-meaning management. Impossible performance standards make your next job seem much easier.

Cons

CEO encourages company-wide stinginess. (Minimal wages, no benefits, denial of full-time employment) Non-smokers are expected to work entire shifts without any breaks. Impossible performance standards enforced by all levels of management. Quality employees are made to compensate for the inferior work of indolent employees.

It's a good after-school job for teens, but it's not for adults

Cashier, sandwich maker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun work environment Get to wear jeans to work 50% discount on sandwiches Lots of joking around when work is slow

Cons

Minimum wage - no exceptions! Shifts get cut short with "Hey, work's slow today and we don't need you. You can go home." Irregular paychecks for ^ that reason No praise for great work, but scolding for bad work Knives are way too sharp - I cut my fingers three times, one of which required stitches! Not a good job for an adult who NEEDS the money! I would suggest trying for a management position if you have a family to provide for. This job is best for high-schoolers who need a little money and something to do after school.
