Pros

The only real pros of this job were that you get a free six inch sandwich (if allowed by the owner) daily.

Cons

The franchisee has complete control of the store and the company really doesn't touch it. So if the owner is terrible at running a business you can bet that the store is going into the gutter.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
