Pros

Flexible scheduling is the only pro I can think of.

Cons

Due to the small business aspect of individual franchise's, I was not allowed to take a break. That could be up to 16 hours with no break. I would get calls from my manager if I was caught sitting for more than 3 minutes, which is absolutely absurd as I got no break. The management is almost non existent, and not a single person takes your concerns into consideration. They do not care about their employees whatsoever and it shows. The things that they call "fresh" are very rarely that. The lettuce comes in a huge box and if the color is off, they just mix it up so it's harder to tell. The smell that comes from the meats (salami, pepperoni, ham and turkey) is enough to make someone want to vomit. And the chicken, steak, and meatballs... I would just stay away from. Plain and simple.

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.
