Pros

The job is fairly easy. During lunch time it's very hectic and during dinner almost nothing at all. They have an assembly line basically where someone pulls meat, someone cuts bread, someone, and someone wraps the subs. That makes your job specific. Cashier is probably the best one since you are just standing there taking orders.

Cons

The benefits to working here are not even that good. You only get a free meal if working 8 hour + shifts. Usually understaffed and would have to do all the jobs by yourself which people then complain about it taking longer than expected. BIGGEST PROBLEM is you cannot get off a shift by calling a manager. One would think that it would work better if employees have to figure out who covered their shifts, but its complete madness. Sometimes some people had emergencies and could not get off their shift because employees would not cover it and at that point they were understaffed. There needs to be another system in place for that!!!!

Pros

They have a real friendly work environment. Good management and co-workers. Amount of work that needs to be done is very reasonable.

Cons

The pay stays at around minimum wage, but that is what I expected. No breaks unless working 10 or more hours and constantly standing for your whole shift.
