Pros

I worked at Subway in Lafayette, LA and as a first job, I'd say it was good. My boss was very laid back, and the job taught me how to multitask efficiently.

Cons

While my boss' passive attitude was a plus, it was also the biggest downfall. Poor management left me working shifts by myself often and as an afternoon/nighttime worker, that also meant I closed the place alone; Meaning I had to keep the lobby clean, clean the bathrooms, mop the lobby, and deal with customers by myself all at once.

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.
