Pros

Easy to transfer to another location since it's such a large franchise. Usually you get a free 6 inch sandwich for a long shift

Cons

My Subway was terrible to work for. No raises no matter what. 9 hour shifts with no break. The only break was to use the bathroom. We were always understaffed and worked to death for minimal pay. The owner didn't care at all about the employees so almost everyone hated their job.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
