• Hourly pay during training period

Each Jimmy John's franchisee is an independent employer and thus solely responsible for hiring decisions and all other employment-related matters for the franchisee's restaurant(s). The terms "Company," "Jimmy John's," "we," "our," or "us" refer to the specific entity (corporate or franchise) that owns and operates the Jimmy John's restaurant to which you are applying.

Jimmy John's and its franchisees are equal opportunity employers.
