Pros

Flexibility, fun(usually), training is easy and actually helps you, opportunities to earn raises (very few), decent money.

Cons

Very few opportunities to move up. Personally - completely incompetent assistant manager who's job should belong to me.

Pros

Friendly co-workers/manager. Free 6-inch sub of your choice a day. Flexible hours. But a little TOO flexible. EASY interview... The manager took one look at me and the first question out of his mouth was "When can you start?" I LOVED my job at subway.

Cons

My manager was hindu and could barely speak english. Extreme lack of hours. I worked maybe 9 hours a week, if I'm lucky. 3 hours a day. I had asked my co-workers and they had both been there for several months; they both said they got the same amount of hours. Also heard them mention they had a lot of split shifts. Rarely busy = boredom.

Pros

Free lunch, free breakfast, awesome co-workers, free movies every month, annual reviews including raises and typically an annual bonus based on the company's performance.

Cons

Management is secretive, health benefits are ridiculously expensive, only a 30 minute unpaid lunch as a break. Recently they eliminated our two paid 7 minute breaks...they claim it decreases productivity even though we all know it increases productivity. Also, they constantly remind us that we are the greatest team in franchising history...but we are notoriously underpaid and overworked!
