Pros

There are really no "pros" i can think of when I think about working at subway. It was listed as one of the worse places to work in a magazine I read once and now I can see why.

Cons

Crappy pay (not paid extra for over time no matter how many hours you work), people are always quitting so bosses are always calling you in, bosses are always stressed and take it out on you, on your feet all day in a small area and when there are no customers you're expected to pretend like you're doing something which can be really hard when you've done everything there is to be done, bosses are really petty and gossip to other employees

Pros

Normal for any job in this industry: free food, filling the time between bouts of over indulgence of internet. Normal for any job: new social interaction with customers/ coworkers, a wage, exercise, helping people.

Cons

For a part timer the inconstant hours are bothersome. The part I'm, of course, expected to do and not complain because it's an integral part of the job is the trouble with customer interaction; one learns how to communicate better with people of his or her community but it's an up hill battle. There are countless times I've believed a customer slightly insane because they wanted me to preform some illogical, pointless, or inefficient task. I'm grateful the consequences of mistakes are so minor and easily rectified generally speaking.
