Pros

Some cool coworkers A small check bi-weekly

Cons

Where to begin... We are not allowed to give customers bags, unless they ask for them We are not allowed to give customers napkins, unless they are asked for We are not allowed to use any napkin with the logo Jimmy Johns on it, because that is .0001 cents this company will never get back. Limited to 15 hours a week I cannot work within 3 miles of Jimmy Johns at any place that earns 10% of its revenue from sandwiches of any type Nobody ever stays for long, You will never move up in the ranks. They do not listen to requests. Every single cent is accounted for, we throw away sandwiches before we would even think about giving them to employees or those needier. I may sound bitter, maybe because I am, but this company does not care about you one bit.

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.
