Pros

- free sub of your choice when working a shift - half price in any subway store (in either the state or country)

Cons

- very low pay, below what would normally be considered minimum wage - boss was very rude, gave some people 25+ hours and others 4.5 per week, regardless of time spent working there, skill or how many hours they wanted to work - played favourites with staff (would talk to some and be friendly while ignoring and being cold to others), let some staff members get away with anything in store (talking to each other (and not doing anything), playing on their phone) while others would be in trouble for minor things (eg. Taking too long to sip water) - constantly reminded we were being watched on the cameras - reminded constantly about productivity and how we must work every second while boss would play on his phone and take half an hour phone calls with friends when he was rostered on (leaving other staff members to pick up the slack) - boss cut 5 hour shifts down to 4.5 hours so that he wouldn't have to give employees a half hour unpaid break

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
