      Horrible atmosphere and the ability not to grow in the company.

      Pros

      People were friendly my co-workers were awesome

      Cons

      Pay sucks--worked there for over a year never missed a day still shot be down on a raise but gave management to someone that hadn't been there that long and was way younger not even with a degree. Management was a joke, my manager would go smoke in her office then go across the river on the clock and go drink beers by the other jimmy johns store. Management would sit on the computer and look at facebook while bossing the others that were working on stuff to do more stuff.

      Work here if you like being run by a backwards corporation

      Pros

      The store I work at has really nice management, probably the only reason why I've been able to keep working here for almost 6 months.

      Cons

      It's a corporate franchise, and I guess this doesn't matter if you are ok with doing some of the most ridiculous things just because "hey, i'm just doing my job." Everything has to be ok'd at the corporate level, whether it's store hours or the idea we had of recycling bags that bread comes in for trash bags in the bathrooms. (yes, i'm serious about the bags) Also, many of the "values" that jimmy himself preaches via signs posted around the store are extremely contradictory, offensive, and typically just don't even make sense.

      Low pay and only one option for advancement-become a manager in training, and then manager. Very Flexible hours, and fun

      Pros

      Its a very fun environment if you are open minded and like being silly. If you are high school or college, the hours are very flexible. You actually pick your own schedule each semester. There is a list where you can put your name and date for days off, and if you keep on it, you can usually find someone to cover for you. There is also usually a good amount of people signing up for days off so if you are aggressive you can pick up some more hours. The daily hours range from 8AM o 4:30AM the next day so if you try you can fit it into your schedule. And like I said, at least at the one I work at on Pensacola St, it is a pretty fun environment. Giving fast service and living up to the name is actually a small source of pride and enjoyment too. If you are a driver, you can make a substantial amount of money for the work when you factor in the tips and tax breaks. One driver told me that he makes almost 30,000 a year when its all said and done, working 35 hrs a week at a job that is not very demanding.

      Cons

      The pay is minimum wage and I do not believe that their is anyway to increase that, unless you either become a driver or are chosen to become a manager in training. If you choose to become a driver, it can take a toll on your car and you will need help if you are a novice filing taxes for it. Also driving late at night has the potential to be dangerous. Also as in any service industry in a college town, both in-shops and drivers have to deal with potentially rude, drunk and unprofessional people which can be annoying. You only get 4 shifts to sign up for a semester, at least at the one i work at. Which means that the max hours you can get on your own range from 15 to 25; as some shifts are longer than others depending on the day and the time they are offered. You will have to do some work to get more.
