Pros

I love the food at Subway. It's fresh (most of the time) and after working there I can say it's not as gross of a process as other fast food restaurants. And other than the times when there are rushes, it's a fairly easy job.

Cons

The list goes on and on. The management was horrible (never there, not helpful, and kind of shady even). The customers were incredibly demanding ("No, I said more tomatoes!", "What, you don't have sea food in?? How dare you!!!"). I often had to spend my nights cleaning until 2 in the morning while serving drunk people stumbling in from the bar. Would not recommend working at Subway.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling (once I gained some seniority) Quick advancement Good pay, raises fairly often based on performance Get to meet a lot of people and gain friendships Fast paced environment makes time fly. Great management benefits.

Cons

Sometimes you have to work holidays when no one else volunteers. Sometimes you are understaffed (if someone calls in sick on a busy day and there is no extra coverage) May have to work doubles/all day shifts (open-close) if no one else is available.
