Pros

it is an easy job to learn.

Cons

65+ hour per week, on your feet, at a sprint. the way that the system is set up you work 12 hours a day without breaks. No sick leave, very little vacation, only at inopportune times, no retirement. I was forced to go into work with a fever of 104 for a 12 hour shift or lose my job. Jimmy Johns flaunts *clean and wholesome* but the staff is still required to work insane hours sick or otherwise. I have been required to work more than 100 hours a week more than a few times, with no pay increase and no thanks.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
