Pros

Waffle House does provide good benifits and stock options for employers. Second and third shift are not supervised by managment, so as long as you get your job done you can kinda do what you want.

Cons

In my opinion, Waffle House does not pay grill operators fairly for everything they expect to be done every shift. Waitresess get paid less, but make decent money after their tips.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
