Business outlook
Pros
Loads of options, there are usually at least two subways within walking distance of each other. The pay was very much fair. If you are at a good franchise then the environment is fun, with everyone doing there job work can be very simple and straightforward. This was the case with two of the three different stores I worked.
Cons
Then there are bad franchises. At my first store the owner had a surveillance system he used to bust employees for the smallest of slip ups. That created an atmosphere of paranoia, not fun. The greatest weakness Subway has as an employer is the inconsistency from store to store. Good stores are fun, bad stores are the worst jobs in the food industry (six year food services veteran), no middle ground.
