I'm a supervisor at Subway and the coworkers are starting to get on my nerves beyond belief by not coming in when they need to/expecting too much out of me, etc. In other words, I need to find another job. I've also worked at Hallmark (big variety in jobs, I know). What good, reliable job could I find with this experience? I'm willing to work hard, but reasonably. I'm a pretty good learner with good training. Almost any hours as long as I get paid enough. Any suggestions??

k thanks for the answers! but im not running. see, the ppl that are giving me the most trouble are the ones that are my fellow supervisors. therefore i cant really tell them what to do w/o the manager getting mad. however, my performance is much better than theirs (just the simple truth). i've talked with the manager and he's like 'suck it up.' well i've been suckin it up and now im tired of it. thanks for the input, but my problem isn't deciding if i want to leave. it's deciding where to go.

Have you ever thought about working at a daycare or at a church? You can meet good people, and don't have to put up with the mess you have to at subway. The most important thing is school, and your walk with the Lord.
Good luck

The first answer was actually very good given your age and where you are going. Of course what you are looking for is an 'easy' way out. As a supervisor your responsibilities are for your crew and the store, how you handle them builds your character. If you choose to pick up and leave and not deal with the problem at hand you'll find yourself always running. Respect is earned not given, if your co-workers are expecting too much from you then it might be possible they are looking for guidance that you are not giving. Leadership isn't always easy but when you learn to delegate and expect back from your co-workers you'll gain respect and possibly things will get better.
In this case it almost sounds like the money is the issue and being a supervisor gets you the pay you want but the added baggage you don't, "Almost any hours as long as I get paid enough." If all you are looking for is pay then maybe you need to look for another job, but if it is responsibility then take another look at your situation. Hey, leading can be easy it's just drawing the lines that make it hard, let your co-workers know what you expect if they go outside of what rules were written and laid down then they should expect a corrective course of action. If they are expecting from you it is fair to expect from them don't think that what you are doing isn't fair you are the liason for the owner, put yourself in the owners shoes and decide what you would want done.
You are in a transitional point in life, enjoy it. But don't let others walk all over you as it will happen. It's a job, that doesn't mean everyone has to be your friend. If you have friends there it doesn't mean work has to leave work, it should stay there and it's not part of your personal life don't let it be. When you walk out the door let your work life stay there...behind the door.

Personally I think you should deal with things and keep your job. Talk to your manager and let him/ her know what is happening and that they will loose you if it continues. Since you are a manager, they respect you abilities which means they also respect your opinions, so let them know who the trouble makers are. You will have a much better success in getting a better job when it is time if you have a job history that shows time in service and dependability.
If it is really that bad and you just can not take it anymore, then for a 17 year old, I could only think of "Joe" jobs. You know, working at the 7-11, working at McDonalds, working in the mall, things like that.
Now, if you have a goal planned for later in life (say you go to college and want to be a architect, why not try to work as an aid for an architect). Other than that, you are very limited

I worked in a daycare for a year and a half, and now my sister works there. It was a fun job. Kind of stressful sometimes if the kids are going crazy, but in general it's just a fun time. The pay was decent and so were the hours. Most daycares like peopel certified in First Aid in CPR, but they'll usually be willing to put you through the training of they're a decent place, and then you'll be able to put that on your resume when the time comes. Besides, you get to eat all the animal crackers you want.

If you like animals a pet store may be nice. My sister is your age and just applied at an Eb Games. I think that would be a fun type of job to have. Walmart is pretty flexible. I use to work there and the teenagers all seemed to like it alot. Have you tried your local newspaper. There is always lots of entry level jobs available. I also worked in human resources at a hospital once and they had a few entry level positions for people your age. They usually have a job hot-line you can call.

You're at an age of transition, and unfortunately, there are no RELIABLE jobs. But with where you are in your life, there is absolutely nothing wrong with flipping burgers at your local fast food place.
