What is the hiring process like at Subway?

Pretty much the only benefit of working at subway is that you get a free 6 inch. The work is only difficult if you have an incompetent staff, which tends to be the case

Staffing is typically awful, management hires mostly teenagers and drug addicts with no sort of background check or meaningful interview process. They basically just want warm bodies that do the bare minimum, leaving one person carrying the weight and responsibilities of the entire shift. If you go above and beyond, you will be expected to uphold that standard while everyone else plays on their phone and messes around for the entire shift, all without a raise in pay.

There aren't any. The establishment was unorganized and unprofessional beyond words.

Nepotism is abundant there. Management is related to general management. They only hire children, people related to them, or people they knew in their personal life. Assistant management harasses people in a mandatory groupchat, threatens assaulting other coworkers to people on the clock. Assistant management also can't read or write properly and is verbally assaulting they're employees daily. No leadership whatsoever. They will write you up before ever properly handling a situation in an efficient and understandable fashion. You also have people who have worked their for years and they don't know half of the easiest tasks that you are supposed to fulfill daily as well. Training consists of sending you home to a computer and doing everything online. Then you have to go to work and no one explains anything to you, and the proper protocol to doing things. The GM randomly shows up but none of them handle the assistant manager or store managers poor behavior. The general managers are also guilty of nepotism heavily. Extremely disorganized. There's also black mold in all of the back walls of the establishment, including the wall behind the sink where all dishes are washed for the store. Assistant management has been leaving food in the bank overnight and not following protocol to put it in the fridges they're assigned to. Every employee is miserable and doesn't agree with the way management speaks to and handles the mental health of employees. Scheduling is handled in the most backwards manner and it's almost impossible to be full time here. You can only get maybe 3 shifts a week and they are about 6 hours long. Completely unsustainable in this economy and no matter how many times you ask for more hours, they are CONSTANTLY hiring in new people. And then that also begins what I typically call the train effect. Hire someone new, typically a child. Child isn't trained right. They don't fire them for doing things the right way. So they hire in 2-3 more people to pick up their slack. Those 2-3 people aren't trained properly. And then the cycle keeps going from there and the establishment doesn't improve but merely gets chronically worse over time. I have never been more stunned, seen management do so poorly, and experienced a job that is as misadvertised as this one was. Not a good location to start for a first time job. I would never let my children work here due to the amount of issues I experienced digitally or in person. They should also not have someone with no management experience running the store just because of nepotism. It is obvious that no one on the totem pole (GM, management, assistant management) knows what they are doing at all. Especially for how most upper level employees have been there for literal decades. Please do not ever work here. It will only lead to you quitting in 2 weeks after experiencing all of the disorganization this location brings with it.

They were very open-minded about who they hired, and the hiring process was very efficient for someone looking for a first job. We actually applied with paper applications instead of being told to apply online like everywhere else. The interview was pretty quick, and once you get the hang of it, it's pretty difficult to mess up.

I felt like everyone except the manager was not respected by the higher ups. The low salary is one of the biggest conflicts people had with this place of work. Me and my friends were teenagers when we worked here and became some of longest working employees there. We were very efficient at our jobs, yet were still getting paid minimum wage unlike the newbies they would hire on which were older than us. I remember even the assistant manager being paid barely more than us, and we all eventually quit because of how little they seemed to respect us.

Relaxed working environment and flexible hours

Informal interview process, a lot of employees hired after were inefficient and hired becasue numbers were needed.

Good team of people that knew what needed to be done so that nobody had to overwork and everyone got to go home at a reasonable time.

The owner of the franchise was especially nitpicky and frugal. After some issues with changing banks and the direct deposit, I started getting paper checks towards the end of my tenure. After working the rest of my shifts from giving my two-week notice, I never received my last check. Anytime I inquired I was told that they were fairly sure I did pick it up. One time there was a check for me and I noticed it was too small to be the paycheck. I learned that it was the tips given by customers through the POS system that the owner wasn't giving his employees until a new hire caught it.

Good job for the summer

Awkward hours since they new I was a temporary hire.

Very simple and easy process in acquiring the job

Poor training Change of management

Nice people most of the time and regulars are fun

Boss was the ex boss son so the ex boss had access to cameras and she came in whenever to yell at us. New boss would bring his pc and game in the back lol

Easy and simple tasks to complete each day

Depends on who you work with
