Fast paced work environment with a sometimes endless lineup for hours
Sandwich Artist (Former Employee), Vancouver, BC – May 12, 2013
Pros: free drinks
Cons: very busy lineup
I worked during the lunch hours, so I learned how to deal with multiple customers and work under pressure. My co workers and I had to take orders, prepare sandwiches, toast them, wrap them, and bag them for customers in a quick and efficient manner, since the lineup could have up to 30 people at one time. I found my co workers to be very friendly, and – more... managed to keep me in a good mood despite the hectic work environment. My manager was very understanding when I had to take shifts off, since he knew I was a student, and I sometimes had other things to deal with. The hardest part was probably dealing with the long lineups, but at the same time, I really enjoyed this, because I learned to work under pressure, and I liked the challenge sometimes. – less

subway on dougall
Sandwich Artist (Former Employee), Windsor, ON – May 8, 2013
Pros: free sub every shift, easy job, flexible hours
Cons: poor management
I really enjoyed working here. The staff was mostly friendly and followed proper procedures. It is a very clean restaurant and the food is safely stored and prepared. The management is not that great. They expect you to do them favours constantly and do not handle customer complaints very well. They also act as though they are oblivious to conflicts – more... in the store and avoid dealing with them even when they are reported. Schedule is pretty flexible, I would recommend this job to students. – less

Hard work and pressure
Manager (Former Employee), MontrĂ©al, QC – May 2, 2013
Pros: free lunch, flexibale schedule
Cons: heavy work, night shift to replace someone
I was managing the store during Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
on Thursday I used to prepare the payroll, issue the direct cheques Deposits. on Saturday, I also used to record the entry data of weekly orders placed by the store.
I learned to handle stress during work specially when I have to check up on the received order and at the same time serve – more... a huge line up.
however, the vibe at subway was very enjoyable. we used to work as one person and we never had any conflict between each other. – less

Excellent Costumer Service skills
Sandwich Artist PRO, Cashier & Stocking (Current Employee), Almonte, ON – May 1, 2013
Pros: appreciation from the employers, bonus working hours
Cons: n/a
What I learned working as a Sandwich Artist at Subway Restaurant is working efficiently in stressed filled environment.
I have learned good communication skill while dealing with more than 5 customers at a time.
I have developed teamwork skills working with my co-workers.
Initially the hardest part of my job was to handle multitasks and performing the – more... jobs of co-workers in their absence within the time limit provided, which now I can manage working alone in a very efficient way.
The enjoyable part of my job at Subway is when I am working in the presence of my employers and receive appreciation on completing the tasks efficiently.
A memorable day for me as a employee at Subway was When I was appreciated very much for my first day of the job, I was appreciated for my work when I had to perform the closing shift. – less

About Subway
Supervisor (Current Employee), Edmonton Alberta – April 30, 2013
Subway is the second largest fast food chain in the world. My job is to servie customer. Some time at oder taking position, or doing veggies for them or handling cash depending on different sachdual. I believe Subway is the best place to learn about team work, because you work on different positons every day. If i or my co workers are not work as team – more... is hard to make sub and keep customer happy. Hardest part can be when you waiting for customers and there is no customer. But when there is no customer you can do other things like pre cleaning. Stock up veggies, meat, drink's etc. So we can finish work on time. Enjoyable part for me is to servie the customers. Specially when they said that i made there sub so fast and beautiful. – less

Its a fun and challenging job at the same time
Sandwich Artist (Former Employee), Calgary, Alberta – April 28, 2013
Pros: free lunches or snacks
Cons: long hours, standing for a long time.
Its a pretty chill workplace. Its inside Mac's. My coworkers are very nice and friendly. The tasks are pretty easy, we usually prepare meat, vegetables, bread and such for the day. Sometimes its not organized though, for example, who will do what. So I always end up doing the hardest part of the job every shift- chopping the onions. I learned a lot – more... of stuff especially how to clean kitchen tools properly. – less

good to work there but not that good.
Sandwich Artist (Current Employee), Vaughan, ON – April 26, 2013
Pros: free lunch
Cons: short hours
Its good to work over there as a team member like dealing with new faces everyday.What i like the most when i work alone over there and there are number of customers over there.Its kind of challenge to give each and everyone the sub what they want keeping in mind the value of their time.
My time management has really improved after working over there.Moreover – more... you get chance to interact with different persons so its good for increasing my confidene though.
I have very good tuning with my team members. Ouir every work is divided and we have to do our assigned jobs.What is hate most is that there is no security in this job as no chances of increments. – less

Moderately challenging but satifying
Sandwich Artist (Current Employee), Ottawa, ON – April 26, 2013
Pros: free food, awesome customers
Cons: no breaks, between stores, bad management
I spend a lot of time serving customers, and very quickly. There are many days where I have to serve nearly 30 customers in an hour by myself. After doing it for a while, you learn different tricks for speeding up your process so you can make a sandwich in just a couple minutes.
Most of the coworkers I have a very good, too, which really helps with – more... getting everything done on time, while still having fun at work.
Unfortunately, the management is not ideal. They don't listen to their employees, they refuse to put more staff even though its needed so we end up working way more than necessary, and they don't give raises, even to those who deserve it or have been working for a long time, and they give very little praise, but lots of negative feedback.
I would consider the management the hardest part of this job. But it becomes worth it when you get to talk to and know your customers, and the pride when you memorize their sandwich and its all very happy and enjoyable. That is my favourite part of the job--the customers.
Overall, I've learned a lot about time-management, balancing work and life, and how to minimize stress even in a stressful environment. – less
