What Subway's hiring process looks like

Subway has a very fast and informal hiring process, typically lasting 1-7 days with minimal interview rounds. However, applicants report significant ghosting issues (particularly for corporate/admin roles), unpaid training shifts at some franchises, and inconsistent communication. Entry-level restaurant positions are easier to secure than corporate roles. Reported average time to first response is about 7 days. Applicants report roughly 1 interview round(s).
