Jimmy Johns

Driver

May - August 2018 • Solon, OH

What I liked

I definitely enjoyed the customer service aspect, as I was often responsible for delivering food and lunch for large corporate events that relied on my timeliness and quality. As a whole I can say I enjoy meeting expectations and satisfying the customers I applied service to.

What I wish was different

At times I wished I could've logistically optimized my working hours and been more efficient in delivery routes and maximizing the tips/profit I could've made. Also sometimes there well lulls in service where I didn't have many experiences, essentially I wish the job had more business and rigor about it.

Advice

For me I enjoyed being here as it allowed me to experience retail from a direct customer service point of view. I ended up building relationships with repeat customers over time and felt that I represented the brand ideals very well. I always tried to bring a sense of professionalism and present myself as I would in any other professional business setting. My advice would be to take the position seriously and to associate with customers and coworkers. I found that I would often interact with over 75-100 unique customers daily, and over time I developed a better understanding of how to serve and interact with them in a way that mutually benefitted both the consumer, the Jimmy John's brand, and myself as a worker.

Jimmy Johns Sandwich delivery (bicycle)

May 2018 • Tempe, AZ

What I liked

I got paid to exercise. I would have certainly preferred to be learning more about my career choice, but in order to pay the bills this is what I had available. So I tried to make the best of it.

What I wish was different

I wish the customers were more respectful to the delivery drivers. Some people just didn't respect us at all, and it can absolutely ruin your day.

Advice

Make the best of it! This kind of job should never be permanent, but you can still have a great time and make good money.

June - August 2018 • Boise, ID

What I liked

My co-workers.

What I wish was different

Less frequency in being messaged by management to cover shifts.

Advice

Hustling during work will give you an edge over other drivers. Make sure to hustle in the store only. Some drivers speed on deliveries, which is something you should not do.
