Pros

discount on products, starts immediately location to subway work various areas

Cons

on your feet for hours low pay no encouragement or praise for work well done extremely cliquey despite working very hard and getting amazing comments from customers constantly, i received virtually nil encouragement from management. there is no point in working hard there, except for your own satisfaction as it goes unrecognized. so don't bother. there are so many managers, it is hard to keep track. most of them walk around at the beginning of the shift then hide, in their office. and unless you are a part of their 'in' group, they pretty much give you a scowl all day long. depressing. they harp on - meeting their store targets, but there isn't any benefit for you helping to reach it. it is a mc job - only if you are desperate.

Pros

Store Managers and assistant managers are the nicest, most helpful people you will find. I have never had better experiences with a boss.

Cons

Although in-store managers were great, the same can not be said about the district managers who occasionally come into the store. You get looked down upon and treated like you are not as good as them.
