Pros

As it is franchised, every Subway is different. I was there for two years and I couldn't wait to get a new job. If I could change the management and location, working at Subway would have been a fun job in college. I enjoyed making sandwiches and helping customers. We also had Fred DeLuca come in one day and that was very cool. Plus, if your boss allows you free food it's awesome- I never grew tired of the food.

Cons

Pay can vary, you will stink like bread at the end of your shift. Although it's a popular job across the world, I was extremely embarassed to tell people where I worked. Also franchise can be a good thing, I think corporate should have more say in management of staff rather than just the appearance of the location.

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.
