Current Employee – been working at Subway full-time for more than a year

Pros – Offers great opportunities to a lot of people. Very accepting internally and competitive externally. Really wants franchisees to earn a profit. Easy to expand.

Cons – Is becoming more and more saturated and has high demands. DA is demands a lot and offers little help. Not sure their "consultants" understand how to run a business. DA consultants seem to know more about what HQ wants than what a franchisee can do.

Advice to Senior Management – Provide more support via DA and less negativity

Pros – Flexible Schedule, Understanding Managers, Hilarious co-workers, sandwich access, good hours.

Cons – Terrible repetitiveness, If you work there longer than 8 months you'l want to kill yourself, the customers eventually make you want to throw food at their face, you'll smell like moldy sandwiches everytime you get off work, Unlikely to get raises or advance despite good effort.

Current Employee – been working at Subway part-time

Pros – Super flexible scheduling. Shifts are relatively short. If your store has a small staff you can get a decent amount of hours for part time (I'm averaging almost 30 hours a week).

Cons – Your customers will probably be idiots and will always ask if the footlongs are $5 and then not understand when you tell them only a few are all the time but there are certain months where they're all $5. Limited training for management positions and your job doesn't really change at all when you do get promoted. Having a shift that starts at 6:30am for a fast food job. Inspectors are stupidly nit-picky. District manager literally does not do her job. You tell her your store needs something fixed and she just tells you how bad things are at the other stores without telling you if or when it will be fixed. Overall you'll probably end up hating your job.

Advice to Senior Management – Being open at 7 in the morning is honestly really stupid. Having a district manager who doesn't do their job is pointless, so it might not be a bad idea to listen when your managers are telling you they're not getting what they need from them. Little training for management positions makes it difficult to actually be a manager.
