Pros

- the other employees and manager CAN be decent, depending on the person just because everyone hates the work and all you really have is eachother - can make free subs sometimes if your sneaky or there's a cool manager

Cons

- you get min wage for manager-worthy work like opening and everything - get a lot of responsibility, like making ALL the bread when you open and getting everything ready and I mean EVERYTHING - closing sucks even more, there's three times as much work and you have to stay late sometimes - corporate business, obviously it sucks there's not much appreciation of employees - you get treated like total crap if you make one mistake and I'm not exaggerating - every once in a while a corporate upper management person will come in and jump in out of nowhere acting like they work in the restaurant when all they really deal with is an office

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.
