Sydney

Former Employee – worked at Subway

ProsFree food after your shift. You were allowed to take one 6 inch home at the end of every shift, but most people (including management) took two. This was one of the things that kept me working there.

ConsWage is absolute minimum and working on holidays does not have extra pay.

Advice to Senior ManagementTreat the employees with a bit more respect in terms of wages, and they will serve food faster and work more efficiently.

Springfield, MO (US)

Current Employee – been working at Subway part-time for more than 3 years

ProsFlexible Schedule, Understanding Managers, Hilarious co-workers, sandwich access, good hours.

ConsTerrible 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.

Advice to Senior ManagementGive more raises and see what happens

Baltimore, MD (US)

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

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

ConsIs 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 ManagementProvide more support via DA and less negativity

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
