Pros

i love the training process, it's a lot to take in but once you got it, you got it. the customers are definitely a major part of the experience with you being protected as well. if they act up, they leave. point blank. i also love the pay process, if you don't make minimum wage in your tips, they will pay you the difference, you're guaranteed a certain level of income. nice to have that kind of security in your pay.

Cons

the only real issue with working at waffle house is the negativity surrounding some coworkers. they will hire people with bad backgrounds, so watch your money, even though most are pretty trustworthy.

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.
