Pros

I cannot find any pros to working at waffle house right now

Cons

Poor management, lazy employees, poor scheduling, heavy showing of favoritism, no consideration for senior employees and a severe, severe lack of discipline. I have worked for waffle House off and on since 2002. There is nothing I can't do on the line, in the ticket book or in the computer with my own management code and everything. I was hired as a full time employee and I haven't been scheduled for 35 hours consecutively in over a month with it ranging anywhere from 18 to 21 hours! Not even part time! With hours being given to a select few with less experience and less time working than me. They do not value seniority as I am having to pursue partial unemployment just to make the hours I was hired for.

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.
