Pros

At Subway employees get a free lunch, flexible hours, and overall it is a very easy job, especially for high school students.

Cons

I am not sure if it is corporate wide or not, but at the Subway I worked at management did absolutely nothing and let older employees do anything they want. There would be 15 customers in line with me and another girl working and an older employee would not be on break but would be sitting around doing nothing but chatting to the manager...the fact that she didn't get off work for another 3 hours was pretty annoying as she didn't get in trouble.

Pros

You get some really cool coworkers... sometimes... I've seen a lot of people come and go. I get whatever hours I want, which is awesome since I dance and I'm in high school. I've learned how to deal with really angry customers and I have a ton of responsibility. It's also really close to where I live which is convinient. I get free whatever I want while I work (well... stelal sometimes....). Also, I get to try all the new subs before customers try them so I can give them my opinion on them.

Cons

I'm only 16 and have the responsibilities of a manager... I close almost everyday because we are short staffed. The customers you get... make you want to scream. I always have to clean after people which is REALLY gross. I haven't gotten my 25 cent raise I was promised almost 3 months ago.. It can get stressful when you get stuck working with someone that sucks and you have a line out the door. I also have to stay alone for long periods of time since they're cutting hours.. I also have to count everything in the store before I leave. So you can only imagine everything I have to do before I get to go home.
