      Pros

      Room for advancement. Also it will teach you a lot about running a business

      Cons

      Need to allow managers to have a personal life. When you become a unit manager you have a decent salary depending on your sales in your unit but after you look at the amount of hours you work. You hourly rate ends up being maybe $10 an hour and this happen pretty much every week. Forget weekends and holidays with friends and family. Once you agree to Waffle house they own you and they will get their monies worth. Just beware if you join this company. Oh yea kiss your kids goodbye hopefully you will see them before they graduate high school.

      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.
