Pros

Free Subs Not very hard work a all. You accumulate regular customers, which is always a ego boost when they tell your manager how much they like you. Labor based on producivity numbers, which is fair

Cons

At this specific location: Upper management isn't the friendliest Senior Management isn't he most understanding. allocation of labor can reult in getting slammed.

Pros

As the title says, what its like to work for Subway depends a lot on the franchise owner. The owner of my Subway gives me very flexible hours and lets me eat however much food I want and lets me give close friends and family free food, while have a very casual relationship with the employees, and is generally a great person to work for.

Cons

Not every franchise owner is as nice as mine. Some only give a discount on food for the employee and are very strict. In almost all cases, the pay is minimum wage, and you're not likely to receive any benefits such as health care, sick/vacation pay, etc. Some owners are strict and will fire someone at the drop of a hat, while others will let things slide.
