You are better off working for Mcdonalds!

Pros

Great hours, and management is willing to give you time off when requested or work around schedule if you are in school or have another job. Fun environment if employees and managers are nice and professional.

Cons

Not much room for advancement. If you are lucky enough to get bumped up the pay is not really worth all the extra work. Customers tend to be extremely picky, more so than at other fast food restaurants in my opinion.

Pros

the only pro i can think of would be that for every shift you work, you get a free 6 inch sub. that's about it...

Cons

no leadership at all, management never around, training was non-existent, super busy store with not enough people working. owner was rude and unreasonable. told me that working at subway should be my priority (as opposed to university)
