Does anyone here work at Subway?

If so, then how would you describe your experience? I just gave them an application for a summer job there and was wondering what people think about working at Subway. What tasks did you start out with? How many hours a day did you work? Do you have any problems with working there? What should I expect for the interview?

Customers: How would you rate the employees?

And any other general comments would be very helpful, thank you!Does anyone here work at Subway?
Well, a job is a job in this economy. I work as shift leader at a Subway in a mall right across from my school, so it's convienent.



When I first got hired, my main responsibilities were to learn the sandwiches, learn the register, and how to move at a fast pace. As you go on, with any job, you get more and more responsibilities.



6 months later, I was put in charge of closing the store for the evening, running shifts, dealing with unhappy customers and trynig to help them (I don't always believe the customer is RIGHT - but I believe they deserve to be heard, and accepted if they are correct), and working a little bit with inventory.



When I first started, I would get about 20 - 25 hours a week. Now, the Subway I work at is in a public place, a mall, and we run 2 person shifts Mon - Thurs and 3 person shifts Fri - Sun. While there is only 6 people working at my store, I got about 20 - 25 hours when I first got hired. Now, I'm lucky if I work anything under 40.



Don't overthink the interview, the interview was rather an "acceptance" into the company, and as long as you don't take out your phone and text, or sneeze all over the interviewer's face, you should be fine. If they do ask you anything, just be honest. Good news, bad news, it all comes out in the open once you work with the same people for a year.



And, edit, in response to Nubber's post above me, while the soda %26amp; cookies part is true, we run ours a bit differently. I forgot to add this in my OP.



We receive free employee meals (6 in. or 12 in., wrap, salad, flatbread), they ask us not to use the 21 oz cups and to rather use a "hotcup", the cups we give customers as comp. cups for glasses of water, but we use the 21 oz cups anyways. We only have meetings when they are required, as my manager sees other people lacking integrity into their job. Usually one every 3 months or so...not bad. And as far as the test goes, there is a place, Subway University, that the store manager/owner can purchase for the employees, but currently we do not use it.



And if you are going into a public place such as a mall, for instance, we do 65 sandwich rush hours. Very hectic, gotta be able to maintain the "bane", the front area (lettuce, tomato, ham, sauce bottles), etc, filled and kept clean even working at a fast pace. Communication between employees should be one and two word answers - toasted? yes, no. need this here? yes, no.



Hope this helps, and just remember......workin at Subway is a job in this economy, and it looks good on a resume that you are willing to work as a fast food worker in order to pay bills/rent/cell phone bill/extra cash, whatever your case may be.Does anyone here work at Subway?
My mother works there, and I am in good with the peeps in charge so I probably will be this summer too!



They start out with a decent amount of hours at about $8.50/hr

The management is always good with the employees, well at least at the one where Mother works.

Very lenient dress code, you just have to wear a new T-shirt every time they have a promotion going on (it's free and you get to keep it, pretty decent T-shirts, I wear them to school sometimes, lol)

1 Free footlong a day

30% employee discount

All the free cookies, pop, and chips you want

you get a $100 bonus if you recommend a good worker when staff members are needed

You have to go to meetings every 6 months and you take a test every time you want a promotion

The biggest problem is that you have to do things rather fast and ur expected to use only a certain amount of each thing unless they are paying extra, it's a little hard to figure out, but apparently you get used to it.

I hope I helped, though I kinda just listed perks...
