Pros

Some cool coworkers A small check bi-weekly

Cons

Where to begin... We are not allowed to give customers bags, unless they ask for them We are not allowed to give customers napkins, unless they are asked for We are not allowed to use any napkin with the logo Jimmy Johns on it, because that is .0001 cents this company will never get back. Limited to 15 hours a week I cannot work within 3 miles of Jimmy Johns at any place that earns 10% of its revenue from sandwiches of any type Nobody ever stays for long, You will never move up in the ranks. They do not listen to requests. Every single cent is accounted for, we throw away sandwiches before we would even think about giving them to employees or those needier. I may sound bitter, maybe because I am, but this company does not care about you one bit.

Pros

1. Short term 2. Food. (Free depending) 3. Good placeholder until you find something better. 4. Most barely do anything and/or cause problems and drama, most get away with that sort of thing. Usually barely get reprimand, but if so its a slap on the wrist.

Cons

1. Management doesn't listen. 2. Disrespectful. 3. Area Managers can call you a waste when you refuse to do something you have no shift for. 4. They really don't care, you can ask for help and talk but you get nowhere. 5. The HR is a nightmare. They don't do their jobs and are horrendously slow at anything, talking to them lasts for weeks of going nowhere. 6. Area managers are not helpful. When discussing problems they contribute to making management worse. 7. Favoritism is through the roof.
