Pros

The manager was a nice guy, but that was it. his hands were tied regarding raises, job security (if a 'secret shopper' came and you put more then 6 black olives, tomatoes, banana peppers etc) on a sub you would be fired on the spot. the only way we could get a raise is if the store made higher sales, regardless of your quality as an employee

Cons

I had to work the dinner rush all by myself, there was literally a line out the door for hours. the only way we could get a raise is if the store made higher sales, regardless of your quality as an employee, so I was stuck with minimum wage indefinitely. If you failed to say 'welcome to subway' within 3 seconds of a customer walking in you could get written up, if that happened to a secret shopper you would get fired. this job was the worst.
