I arrive in the morning to cook bread for the day and open the store up (turn on ovens, open meats up, open the dressing area up, open registers and computer systems). I then proceed to prepare hoagie trays and my work for the afternoon rush. Afternoon rush consist of slicing the sandwiches and applying toppings. Occasionally I help with the phone orders and the front counter. After the lunch rush we clean up and prepare for the dinner rush. Cleaning up includes doing dishes, filling empty topping containers, restocking any meats, and cooking more bread when needed. We also check to see if any produce needs to be prepared( cutting lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cooking broccoli rabe, longhots and also poultry). Night rush consists of making hoagies fairly similar to the lunch rush. Then cleaning the entire store starts close to closing, from the counters to the floor and machines. 

I have learned to deal with high pressure days, manage a team, and learned how to prepare a works week of food. I have also learned to deal with a variety of situations with customers and co-workers. I enjoy the laid back parts of my job and satisfying customers but the hardest part is dealing with less motivated workers.

I would in no way suggest this as a place to work or at least where I was working. Poor handling of food, at times bad customer service. Hoagie trays that were not kept refrigerated until they were picked up , well pass two hours. Willing to take a  cutlet off the customers sandwich to allow employees their free sandwich.  Poor management behavior. A customer purchasing an empty gift card and taking days to try and resolve. Being alerted corporate was coming so you could correct things that would cause a write up. Extending labels on shelf life on products for sale. It saddens me for if your read why their subs are rated so high and then this store slicing lettuce, tomatoes and onions which should be sliced every morning for freshness, Who wants discolored lettuce, strong onions and mushy tomatoes on a top notch hoagie. Fresh rolls ordered daily with a freezer full of frozen rolls that start getting used once fresh are depleted. I chose to leave , even though I liked hoagie making but I felt uncomfortable about the food handling safety of this store as well as handling of customer.

Worked here for a year. started off well soon realized just what type of company this place really is. To start off, it can either be really slow and easy but also really hectic and stressful. For example, any football game day is a work overload. Have to take every single order even if not possible, usually ends in screaming and co worker arguments and customer complaints. This place also doesn't value their employees. Worked here for over a year. Always covered for people when they asked yet was always a problem when I couldn't come in. They hired managers that only got the job because the boss was friends with them and got a huge ego from it. The managers literally do the same as any regular employee if not less yet get paid a ton more and feel the need to be in charge. Never got a raise even though i emphasized I was struggling as I was in college and had rent to pay. Always would get screwed out of bonuses for made up reasons because even though i was labeled part-time, i worked more than 30 hours a week yet did not get full time bonuses. The boss is a nice guy just poorly run and very stressful for such low pay and poor treatment. 

A typical day was fast-paced and required teamwork, multitasking, and good customer service. I learned how to work efficiently under pressure and take on additional responsibilities. Most coworkers were supportive and enjoyable to work with, but management failed to address ongoing workplace conflict despite repeated concerns from multiple employees. The hardest part of the job was dealing with unresolved interpersonal issues that affected the work environment. The most enjoyable part was working alongside the rest of the team. I felt my effort and willingness to take on more responsibility were recognized verbally, but opportunities for advancement never materialized.

My typical day is coming in on time and un-wrap all the food and if there is future tray orders that day we have to do them first before the time the customer wants to pick it up by.  After that we make backups of food so we have it in front of us if a container runs out.  Throughout the day I dress the hoagies, slicing, answering phones for customers orders or being a cashier and taking customer's orders.  

What I learned by working here are slicing, dressing hoagies, dealing with customer service skills and cleaning work station.

The management here shows the extreme lack of employee appreciation. 

My co-workers here are easy to work with and some are hard to work with.  Also some are unprofessional, depending on the day and who I work with.

The most enjoyable part of this job is customer appreciation and slicing meats and products. 

My time at PrimoHoagies has been an incredibly rewarding experience that went far beyond just making sandwiches. From day one, I was welcomed into a fast-paced, high-energy environment where quality and authenticity are the gold standards.

What truly sets PrimoHoagies apart is the sense of camaraderie. The team feels like a family; we worked in sync to handle the lunch rushes, always maintaining a focus on providing the "Primo" experience for our regulars. I took immense pride in the craft—using premium Thumann’s meats and that iconic seeded bread made every sub feel like a work of art.

The management team fostered a supportive atmosphere that encouraged growth and efficiency, teaching me valuable lessons in customer service and multitasking. If you’re looking for a workplace that values hard work, rewards a positive attitude, and serves the best Italian specialty hoagies in the business, I can’t recommend PrimoHoagies enough!

Show up and some one usually goes out for coffee or shows up with coffee, prepare the store for the customers and make sandwiches to the best of your ability as fast as possible. At the end of the day cleanup. No extra pay if cleanup takes longer than closing time. The franchise supervisors would stop in every once in a while and they were very nice but the owner of the store was off and on and it was hard to tell when he was serious or joking. Coworkers were great, they knew the struggles of all first time employees. The hardest part of the job is standing for 8 hours straight (if that's the shift you work). The most enjoyable part was the downtime and getting to talk to the supervisor when he wasn't moving fast.

On a typical day at work I would start by setting up the shop to get ready to open. I would do this by first setting up all the dinning room tables, than I would get the cash registers ready for business. This was my first job and at this job I learned a lot of things. The main one was how to work as a team to get through the day. The management was very good, it was easy to get along with everyone I made a couple new friends working here. My co-workers were cool and easy to get along with. The hardest part of the job was the lunch rush the line was always out the door. This is where I first learned how to work at a fast pace. The most enjoyable part of the day was in between lunch and dinner because, you can recollect yourself after getting hit pretty bad and relax for a lil before getting hit again.

I worked as a manager at the Runnemede location for 3 years. Owners run a tight ship and expect the best of you, but for good reason. They are understanding when things aren't perfect, and they expect you to learn from your mistakes. Food there is on the expensive side, but is really good. Great team that cares about you. This is a busy store, so make sure that you can keep up or you will feel overwhelmed.
