What are your managers like? Are Jimmy John's franchise owners required to hire managers with angry dispositions? (self.jimmyjohns)

submitted 4 years ago by TSoWAY

I couldn't stand one manager at the Jimmy Johns that I worked at, that has since been shut down. I heard that a lot of people quit because of her, and she is likely the reason why the rest of the employees walked out of the local Jimmy John's, causing it to shut down.

I was told by a good friend who also worked there, that her mother was not the best mother, therefore she was also a bully throughout their schooling years. I feel sorry for her future children, if she ever has any. I wish somebody would find a way to end that cycle of abuse.

So anyways, what are the corporate policies about the kinds of managers they need to hire? Are the managers not allowed to be sweet and friendly?

Anyways, what are your managers like?

I'll chime in on what I think makes a good manager. You gotta be ready to do every job from cleaning bathrooms to ordering truck and everything in between. No job is below you. Treat everyone with respect and Make sure your employees get a break even if it means you're staying an extra hour after being there since 5am.

all the managers are good at my jimmys except the general manager,,,,, so far 5 people have quit because of here. she has ZERO empathy and has absolutely no care for her employees. she gave me a write up because i had to go to the hospital because i cut my hand down to the bone and had to get stitches and then got mad at me when it takes me a little longer to do things like wrap a sandwich or put gloves on,,,,, because i have 8 stitches in my hand

Ever consider reporting that to her manager, which would probably be your franchise owners?

Our GM doesn't live up to his job title at all. He, unlike the job title "General Manager" suggests, is pretty specific about managing. As for our Assistant Manager, he's a lil bitch boy who can't even beat one of our newest inshops in an arm wrestle

Jk, you know I love you, Damien you weak bitch

Unless it's a corporate store, which I'm assuming it's not and that it's a franchise which is individually owned, there are no policies you basically just need to be over 18 and not burn the store down. Seems like she was just awful.
