Pros

The scope of work is remedial, which is a plus for people who are willing to do that. Employee discount is baffling, as 20% off of a $12 sandwich is still quite a high price.

Cons

In the time I worked here quite a few flags stood out. One of which was the initial offer for full time employment. Was promised 40 hours when it came down to how they were scheduled, and ended up working 6 hour shifts on average. Another is the seniority structure in which management banks PTO. When GMs have so much time saved up, I found it incredibly difficult to manage the store in their absence and felt taken advantage of as I got stuck with working hard, long hours on the busiest of days. Food went rancid left and right in the store, and no one was being held accountable for it not being taken care of during inventory time. Listen to the reviews and really make a judgement on whether you can really live with the onslaught of negative feedback. If you do decide to work for Ag Ferrari, be prepared to be cut out of the picture one way or another, regardless of the quality of your work and experience.

Pros

* A step up from working at a sandwich-counter only shop like Subway, Quizno's, Jimmy John's. * No late nights or graveyard shifts.

Cons

* A series of bad business decisions has driven away most of the old A.G. Ferrari customer base from the company's "glory days" - the company has been whittled down from 13 stores to 6. * This current ownership, the third such in the last four years, does not listen to what remains of the old customer base in terms of what sort of product they would like to see in the store. Instead, they have decided to take the approach of trying to "beat a dead horse" by pulling ideas out of their hat, completely out of left field. * The current ownership decided to get rid of the very nice Willie Bird Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner, which had been a company staple for years, much to the dismay of many loyal customers (you cannot get a Willie Bird turkey at Whole Foods, Safeway, or Lucky!). * Current employee turnover is at an all-time high, FYI.
