Toxic work environment - Sandwich Artist Subway Employee Review

Pros

The job offered free food, and lack of supervision meant that the "on paper" limit of 1 sandwich per shift was not enforced.

Cons

The restaurant had two staff working at most given times. The staff were racist and homophobic, and the owner was totally apathetic and largely absent. Further, we were required to be available to work if someone came in wanting a sandwich during our breaks (meaning essentially that we did not get breaks), and yet we were unpaid for 30 minutes every day. This is illigal in BC.

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.
