Pros

You get a paycheck... I have nothing positive about this company.

Cons

- Low Pay - Poor communication - small team - owners can be rude and lack empathy to employees - 2 people per shift mostly and past 7pm you could work alone which is just insane and stressful.... plus dangerous - nothing is good about subway...unless you are desperately in need of a job, don't work here.
