Pros

If you love being stressed out all the time, working 16 hours a day to make impossible deadlines, being micromanaged and in constant fear of being laid off this is the place for you

Cons

To many to list but the two biggest are the constant dishonesty from leadership coupled with their unbelievable incompetence. I have never in my professional life seen anything like this. What happened at Subway is sad actually. Fred spent decades building something and in less than 8 months the new leadership has completely destroyed it. It may be the owners intention to sell in the end but that brand is incredibly damaged. And yes all the posts and news stories you hear about the franchisees complaining are true: Leadership does not care about them at all and they make that clear with most of the decisions they make. Most amazing thing is that they are still posting open positions. No one in their right mind should work their, the pay is below average, culture is toxic and there is zero promise you won’t be laid off tomorrow.

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.
