Pros

The food is fresh, nothing is fried. As a team member you are able to have a hand in every part of the day to day operations. You don't need to have any cooking skills at all to be good at the job.

Cons

Sometimes there are too few people working to meet the demands of the customers, sometimes there are too many. Customers are standing in front of you as you make their meal, making it difficult to serve those customers which are extremely picky.

Pros

It's a job I guess.

Cons

Many, no breaks, what's stated in the title, really no room to grow. Wasn't just my store either, I've spoken to many people who worked and managed Subway's and they say the same. The franchisees are very irresponsible and don't care, Subway sends someone in to check on the stores once a month but they usually call in and let them know what day they will come in which in turn gives the store a whole month to slack off and then get everything perfect the day before but somehow they still manage to come out of compliance; and what does Subway do when a store is out of compliance? Barely gives the owners a slap on a wrist. The inspectors have very little pull and the few that try to get the owners in trouble get disciplined or moved to a knew location whenever the store franchisees say they are too hard on them.

Pros

Work with great people, will work around your school hours and activities, usually get off any day you ask for. pay can be good for a student if you get enough hours.

Cons

Sometimes don't get enough hours, especially if they hire new people. If you don't get enough hours the pay can be horrible.
