Now Hiring: Full-Time Crew Members & Shift Leaders
At PG1 Restaurants of Jersey Mike’s, we’re not just making subs—we’re building future leaders. We’re looking for full-time team members who are available for all shifts (especially weekends) and ready to grow their careers from Crew Member to Shift Leader to Manager-in-Training (MIT)—and beyond.
This is more than a job—it’s the beginning of your leadership journey.
If you bring the heart, energy, and hustle—we’ll invest in your future.
Start Strong. Grow Fast. Earn $15+/hour
We believe in hiring for heart, not just skill. Jersey Mike’s is a place where passionate, hardworking individuals can grow, be valued, and make a real impact. Many of our Store Operators started in this exact role—and now run their own locations.
What You’ll Do
- Prepare high-quality subs with fresh, premium ingredients
- Deliver excellent customer service with energy and positivity
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized store environment
- Support your team during fast-paced shifts
- Be present, reliable, and ready to learn and lead
Compensation & Starting Pay

Path to Advancement
Crew Member → Shift Leader → Manager-in-Training (MIT) → Operator-in-Training (OIT Levels 1–3) → Store Operator
Once you’ve demonstrated leadership and reliability, you’ll begin your MIT journey. From there, you’ll advance through three levels of Operator-in-Training (OIT)—each designed to prepare you for managing your own store.

- A raise upon completion
