I work at Subway and the pay is really awkward?

Question

i work at Subway and because of the 5 dollar deal it is really busy. the boss only keeps 2 employees while they get a 1100 dollar buisness everyday. They pay only 6 an hour and i am wondering is that the right amount. Some of the work include sweeping, mopping, making sandwiches, restock, trash, etc.

Answer 1

The wage all depends on what state you live in.  The cleaning part is all part of doing the job.  Any job you get has little extras in it be it office or waitress, etc...  Be glad you have a job.

Answer 2

It doesn't take a college education to work making sandwiches, so the pay isn't going to be very high.  You can find out if you are being paid minimum wage, though.

Answer 3

your pay has NOTHING to do with what they take in.  What you are doing for $6 an hour is fine.  Remember they have expenses such as franchise fees, food costs, utilities, salaries, taxes, payroll taxes, maintenance, etc.

Answer 4

In my opinion what they are doing is okay.

It's still a minimum wage job no matter what, just because it happens to be super busy doesn't mean you should be paid more.

Of course it would be nice, but it's not gonna happen.

Even if you expect more, I am sure there are plenty of people that would still do the job for $6.  It wouldn't be good for them to keep you, but anyone could do it so they don't care.

Definitely find out what the minimum wage is for your state; if it's below that then it's definitely a problem.

Answer 5

u are getting underpaid. just incase u didnt know the minimum pay is 8 dollars an hr.

Answer 6

first of all, it depends on how long and how much effort you put into your job. i work at a subway and i know people who have been working their longer but didnt work that hard and get payed less than people who have been working their less but work A LOT harder. in my opinion, what they make has nothing to do with what the pay is. also u dont need much brains to work at a subway. yea, i know the 5 dollar thing is super busy. and some customers get very rude when they find out only certain sanwiches r 5 dollars now. im getting paid 6.15 right now and ive work their for 3 months, but i work my best rather than some people who talk on their cellphone half of the time. i think ur pay right now is decent. hopefully the 5 dollar thing is over soon! hang in there =]
