Pros

Free meal I guess. Easy to learn especially if you like being a cleaning robot.

Cons

Paid is so bad. I have worked in different shops and the managers normally are quite dumb, but hey no need to be smart to run subway I guess. The staff is unfriendly and grumpy , doesnt make you feel comfortable or happy to go to work. You can hear quite rude statements from managers and supervisors , expect to stay late or work on your days off if someone calls in sick. Zero hour contracts. The customers are horrible, lots of spoiled teens, so lots of self control required. Do not work there unless you need an urgent job.

Pros

You get a lot of hours and get to make your own schedule, however if someone decides to quit or not show up, you have to work it. You get free meals ever four hours. (One six inch basic sub made to formula)

Cons

Stressful. They expect you to do everything and if something goes wrong it falls on you. Hours are inconsistent and overtime is strictly off limits.
