Pros

Corporate is great to work for, you are treated with lots of respect. Praised all the time for good work. Especially if your good. Worked for franchise and was once a week if not more the unit would scream and cuss you out on the floor. I have worked for waffle house for 15years. This is my career, my job. I love it

Cons

Franchise would be my con. Not professional at all cuss employees out all the time loads of favortism and management has to many family members working for them, if your not family you dont stand a chance.

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.
