People definitely underestimate the effort it takes to manage a successful and profitable Jimmy John's location.
Pros
Jimmy John's is a great place to work because of the great environment. The music is loud but not overwhelming, the crew is incredibly fast, and energy is never absent. Customers are greeted loudly as they enter the door making them feel important. A great manager knows how to make perfect bread which leads to awesome sandwiches made in just seconds. Jimmy John's is a fast-paced, energetic, and just simply a fun place to work.
Cons
Dealing with ignorant customers is always an issue in the foodservice industry. Jimmy John's has a sign that reads: "The customer is USUALLY right." They are almost never right, but you have to still take care of them. Lunch rushes can be extremely intense requiring all employees to be quick. Turnover can be high due to searching for fast employees that can handle the stress.
