You always smell like cheese lol the pay sucks, the management is over paid and doesn't appreciate how hard their staff, who are underpaid, work for them, it's embarrassing when people see you in there...

Pros

Access to healthy food during breaks Good communication of expectations from corporate Excellent work atmosphere Flexible scheduling around school and family

Cons

It's fast food, so it's still grunt work for little pay. But overall not a bad place to work if you need a place to work while you're in school, need a flexible schedule, and don't want the regular, greasy fast food experience.

Pros

the food. serving a fresh, healthy product. flexible scheduling. uniforms provided. you are pretty much in charge of your shift if no manager is present. always something to do. job security

Cons

the occasional rude customer. working with people who dont care much about their job. closing the store at 11 pm alone. subway restaurants are a frequent robbery target due to that. following doctors associates guidelines strictly.
