Pros

The management at least at my store treats the employees as equals, not just cogs in a machine. Customers seem to be more tolerant than at other places i've worked, and last but not least. Free food. :P

Cons

It's a minimum wage job. There are little growth opportunities, besides moving to assistant manager. Which typically takes longer than most people want to work at Subway. Corporate tends to manage stores based on what gives the best appearance rather than a mix of both aesthetics and efficiency.

Pros

Flexibility, fun(usually), training is easy and actually helps you, opportunities to earn raises (very few), decent money.

Cons

Very few opportunities to move up. Personally - completely incompetent assistant manager who's job should belong to me.

Pros

Free lunch, free breakfast, awesome co-workers, free movies every month, annual reviews including raises and typically an annual bonus based on the company's performance.

Cons

Management is secretive, health benefits are ridiculously expensive, only a 30 minute unpaid lunch as a break. Recently they eliminated our two paid 7 minute breaks...they claim it decreases productivity even though we all know it increases productivity. Also, they constantly remind us that we are the greatest team in franchising history...but we are notoriously underpaid and overworked!
