Pros

You get basically a free sub every day and free drinks. Tips are always nice.

Cons

The customers can be very rude; but depending on the roll of the dice, your manager can be even ruder--such was the case with my experience. It was my first job and my manager basically insulted me the whole time, so I quit after 2 weeks. Also the food service itself can be very stressful, especially when having to do rushes by yourself, which you will have to do within a few weeks of working there. What's so stressful about it? Well that's having to make every single sandwich while dealing with a pair of eyes watching your every move (and mistake.) At least at McDonald's you don't make burgers in the front. Basically, with this job you'll either pick it up and do okay (if you have past fast food experience likely) or you'll fall horribly behind. But if you are considering this for your first job, look somewhere else--the perks are not worth it.

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.
