Pros

Delivering catering will get you very big tips. Music is good.

Cons

You get your schedule for the next week on Saturday and you have to find a replacement if you can't work a shift. Even if you know weeks in advance you won't be available you still have to find your own sub. This is a pain when you are just starting and don't know anybody. Also annoying that it can take a good hour or two to make calls/texts. Why they can't make the schedule a week in advance is beyond me. Jimmy Johns is about "freaky fast" delivery and therefore there are 4-5 drivers during lunchtime and you don't get as many deliveries as other restaurants. Tips pretty much cover gas unless you have a very efficient car or you get lucky with large orders.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
