Cons – Cost in terms of both initial start up fees and ongoing costs.

Advice to Senior Management – Now there are more than 30,000 Subway restaurants in 88 countries worldwide and

Pros – If you work long enough with the company you get good hours, of course that depends if you are a good worker. All you need to do is clean and make sandwitches , which is not really hard to do.

Cons – Since I work night shifts and there are a lot of clubs and pubs around you get some drunk customers , but usually nothing to worry about. Sometimes of course there are fights and such, but usually it is pretty funny to watch.

Advice to Senior Management – Pls switch the menu board to the old ones, because the new menu boards look very cheap and they confuse costumers (sometimes).

Current Employee – been working at Subway

Pros – When you are staffed enough it isn't overly stressful and sometimes have a laugh.
Free 6" sub if your shift is over 6 hours.

Cons – Almost always under staffed.
Always bare minimum wage (absolute legal minimum based on age)
Senior management bosses (worked in my store) rather rude/offhand comments.
Basically paid me pennies on my first wage because of pay schedules then said tough (didn't tell me in advance)
Expected to fill in shifts when people left/got moved

Advice to Senior Management – Hire some more staff, its better in the long run you loose more business with people walking out than it costs to hire somebody else, and if you have 2 closers the work is done more than twice as fast (can start cleaning earlier wile other guy serves) actually saves you money and doesn't leave somebody with 3 hours worth of cleaning at 9pm
Staff will also perform better when they are rested, 50 hour 5 day weeks are not so great when it comes to customer service also they can clean faster if their not exhausted saving you some more money.
