Pros

-Food is good -Insurance is good -Lots of good people used to work here -They had to stop demoting black people because we made the news for being racist

Cons

-New members of upper management team are fools. They get promoted because they are friends with Joe Rogers III or someone else high up in the company. -I had managers at other companies make fun of Waffle House while I interviewed with them. Simply put, the company has a terrible reputation. -Upper management is now made up of kids with trust funds who are actually racist

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.
