Great place to work, but I feel management needs improving.

Pros

Subway gave me useful experience working in a fast-paced environment and serving customers, which I appreciated.

Cons

Unfortunately, my time there ended on a negative note. I felt I was treated unfairly by management, as I was dismissed over an accusation that was not supported by clear evidence. This made the workplace feel unsupportive, which was disappointing.
