Pros

Jimmy john's is a fun company to work for. The environment is awesome and upbeat, the culture is contagious and the food is delicious. There is room to move up really quickly as they are always looking to find the next best employees. The money is also good when involved in the bonus structure.

Cons

The rigors of upper management are ridiculous. The expectations are high and if you don't meet them you can face losing your job over something as small as .05 of a percent. If you find you are not going to move up then you should get out because it get's tedious.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
