Erbert & Gerberts Sandwich Shop

My day would consist of arriving at my scheduled time, which varied almost daily. I would prepare food, make sure the front table was stocked and ready, make sure there was enough bread for my expected customer amount depending on which shift I had. I would work for several hours, making sandwiches, taking delivery calls, working the P.O.S. system, taking inventory, and making sure the work area and lobby area were always clean. I learned that I was very social and easy to get along with in a work environment even when lunch and bar rushes came along. I also learned how to multitask and delegate appropriate people to appropriate tasks to be as efficient as possible. The management was phenomenal when I started with two brothers, but shifted after only a few months when one sold his half to a new owner. When the new owner came in he didn't know what he was doing and tried to start ordering me around and the other employees who knew far more about what we were doing than he did. In addition to that, he was not very open to shift changes even though most of us were in college courses. This was several years ago, so I do not know if this has changed or not, but that was my personal experience with said manager. The one brother who still owns/manages the restaurant is amazing, however. I consider him a great boss and a good friend of mine. When I go back to visit my friends and the town, I stop in to the store mostly just to say hi and catch up with him. My coworkers were mostly amazing, fun college students like myself, so it was generally a fun work environment. The hardest part about my job was the new manager coming in and trying to take over, even toward the end when I still knew more about what I was doing than he did. It wasn't what he would say or do, but how he would go about saying or doing it. I have full respect for my superiors in the workplace, but I also expect a certain level of respect in return. The most enjoyably part of the job was most of my coworkers. I would be legitimately excited for work more often than not.

So, I've previously worked for the company for several months and was hired on as an assistant manager. I have worked at a sub shop for 5 years a d know the business rather well. So, I applied to a posting looking for a GM on here and being that I used to assistant manage the place I thought I'd apply. Got called a couple months later for an interview. Went to the interview and was told it was between me and 1 other candidate. He called me the next day and said I had the job. So, I quit my current position and being it was in the healthcare field, I'd have to wait 9 months to get my job back. They hied someone that I actually put a good word in for and she has several pending felony drug charges among other things. I also have had several frie ds work at the store who have also told me the area manager has said some racist comments toward him. As a result of hiring this person over me, I became homeless and jobless when I couldn't afford to be without pay for a day, let alone the 3 weeks that I have now been unemployed. I gave up everything to start the position and it was never really going to be mine. He didn't take the time to train me on the few things I didn't know and that was it. Sorry if there are any typos, I can't read my post because it won't scroll down.

Erbert and Gerberts was a great place to work.  It taught coping skills and plenty of patients, both with customers and co- workers.  The shifts would run smooth if the GM and assistant GM would stay up front during rushes with crew and supervisors and didn't get distracted.  If all of that fell into place the shift and day would be great.  IF they happened to get destracted supervisors such as myself were able to tsp up and take control of the shift which would end up happening when the GM would leave for the day. The hardest part of the job was being effected poorly when the GM was having a bad or hard day personally.  The best part of the day was taking control and getting the chance to rise above everything and finishing the rest of the shift strong and giving the crew the reenfocement they need.

This job had to be a favorite, so many nice co-workers and managers. Working here makes you feel like having another home, Erbert and Gerbert's employees are family. A typical day at work would be coming in to work and try and get started on my closing things. Delivery Drivers want to get out of the store as soon as possible so they can go home. Make sandwiches for hungry customers and always greet with a friendly smile. I would finish up some other closing things and lock the doors, mop the floors and head home. The hardest part about this job was learning the new computer system. Erbert and Gerbert's decided to change the old screens they had to Ipads, it was really complicated at first but then people started getting the gist of it. The most enjoyable part of this job was the co-workers. Everyone is friendly and always willing to help if needed.

Erbert and Gerbert's was always clean, sufficient, and friendly. Everyone was supportive and always answered questions if there was a doubt on what to do. The most enjoyable part of the job was communicating with others, as it made the job easier when conversing with co-workers. Management was well run, but age effects the position of status one has as an employee. Because I was 16, I didn't get any promotions or pay raises. Otherwise a typical day at work was prepping for the sales ahead, baking bread, and serving customers when we opened. We reorganized, cleaned, refilled food and checked drawers to make sure no money was missing. It was a good experience for my first job as a high school student.

This job is okay. But the working conditions are getting worse. The A/C has been broken for more than a month. The back gets hot because of the oven and all of the commotion. We don't really get our (Law Abided) break. We have to ask for a raise/ have a "good" reason. We don't all have uniforms. Sometimes is scheduled out of our availability. We've been having a fly/gnats/baby roaches and it's just getting tiring. Also we are understaffed in some situations to where there's only one person in store taking orders on the phone/ in store orders/ executing the orders, also having to execute a mandatory list of things to do by the end of the shift.

Overall good job. Fast pace environment with little responsibility for people that are looking for a paycheck. If you are interested in management there are many opportunities IF you put forth the effort needed to advance (like every job). If you show initiative management WILL notice. I was the General manager in training at the time I left. The main reason for me leaving was my family. As any general manager position, it is a bit stressful. But if you are looking to be a GM it is an awesome places to get that entry level experience starting off as a shift manager. I loved the employees. Just an overall great bunch of people

I work the night shift so a usual day would include me coming in at 8 pm and working until 12 am and ringing people up and keeping things clean. It's really laidback and slow at night so I'd only ring up about 10-15 people a night. My main jobs of the night shift were to follow the cleaning checklist and ring people up and maybe make a few sandwiches and that's all I have to do. I get paid $10 an hour if I work at night and $8.50 if I work during the day. If you work here the only discount you'll get is half off one sandwich and that's it, no free meal per shift like other food places do.

Just like subway or whatever, we would make subs and sandwiches with weird names.  It was a fun environment, and it being on the university of minnesota campus, it can get rather busy.  Usually shifts would last until 2 in the morning every morning.  I was a night shift in-store manager and took care of problems that arose.  Like every restaurant, we would clean and stock up items throughout the shift, bake off cookies and bread as well.  Overall it was a good work environment and I know I busted my butt in prep work and making sandwiches to ensure the restaurants success.

Not only was it extremely stressful at all times of the day, but other employees there are very fake and two sided. Nothing is private, people look through your stuff, you can’t call in without your reasonings being spread around the store. And if you put your two weeks in, don’t be surprised if people working at other store know. News spreads quickly. The management wasn’t great, and most people just talked behind your back. It’s was a pretty hostile and toxic work environment for no reason.
