Pros

It's a decent place to work and you get a free sandwich after each shift, in addition to free drinks all the time.

Cons

There is no division of labor, so every person is a cashier, sandwich maker, vegetable applicator, food preparer, bread baker, cookie maker, and janitor. It makes it sort of hectic.

Pros

Loads of options, there are usually at least two subways within walking distance of each other. The pay was very much fair. If you are at a good franchise then the environment is fun, with everyone doing there job work can be very simple and straightforward. This was the case with two of the three different stores I worked.

Cons

Then there are bad franchises. At my first store the owner had a surveillance system he used to bust employees for the smallest of slip ups. That created an atmosphere of paranoia, not fun. The greatest weakness Subway has as an employer is the inconsistency from store to store. Good stores are fun, bad stores are the worst jobs in the food industry (six year food services veteran), no middle ground.

Pros

The job is very easy to learn, the training can be completed in three shifts. Also there was discounted food for each full shift worked.

Cons

This is a low end minimum wage job which doesn't have any benefits or room to advance. There was a very high turnover rate at my store because of this. There was a raise promised after 6 months of working there which was never given to any of the employees. I was there for 10 months and told it was no longer in their budget. This place is one step above Mcdonald's because we didn't have to deal with grease but other than that it is basically a McJob.
