Canberra

Former Employee – worked at Subway part-time for less than a year

ProsAs a subway sandwich artist: simple tasks, not that many procedures and complicated stuffs, hours are flexible, the pay is reasonable considering the nature of the job

ConsLots of upfront customer dealing, work can get strenuous and physically tiring (standing through all the shift with constant work: cleaning, preparing sandwiches), limited room for promotions or other job opportunity within subway.

Adelaide

Former Employee – worked at Subway

Pros- good colleagues and usually good in-store management
- quite a lot of independence and allowance for staff to take leading roles in opening, closing etc

Cons- treatment from store owners was not great
- employer sometimes ignored aspects like penalty rates, overtime; made it clear that staff were easily replaceable

Advice to Senior ManagementIf staff were looked after and remunerated better, it would result in less turnover, better performance and a wider pool of prospective new job applicants.

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.
