Pros

Flexible hours, easy to learn, occasional free food (probably varies location to location), meeting new customers and making friends with repeat customers, etc

Cons

Low hours, can work long shifts without breaks if shorthanded and busy (once did a 10 hour shift without a lunch or break), dealing with unruly and dishonest customers (one customer tried to steal our tip jar, others try to rip us off, and other customers are rude and antagonistic). Had to deal with unruly coworkers (some refused to work but they were specially hired by the manager so their poor behavior continued). It's disheartening when one does the majority of the work and earns all the tips but has to share tips with someone who spent the majority of their shift on the phone.

Pros

Subway is a great first job for teens seeking for work. It's very laid back and straight forward. Things do tend to get kind of crazy sometimes but you just have to focus and get the job done.

Cons

A few cons for working at subway are the hours. I do tend to get called in on my days off which does get quite old. I like to help out as much as I can so I always try my best to come in and help on my off days.

Pros

Half off sandwiches, fast paced, minimal supervision, always something to do, flexible schedule, good training for high energy environments, learn new products easy

Cons

Having to deal with damaged or missing work materials and management to cheap to replace anything, also management freaking out when inventory is missing or wasted even though soup would go bad we would have to reuse it to not get in trouble
