Pros

Supervisor experience, nothing was really positive about the experience. The pay is decent but very unstable, your pay grade is change every few weeks tricking you into getting paid less and less.

Cons

Often times you are talked to any kind of way despite sales increases. Employees to turn you An your District Managers against each other. The company babies their hourly associates they can steal and without an without a paper trail will be allowed to stay or transferred to another unit. Pay is very unstable, they literally switch your pay scale every 3 weeks in order for the company to get the upper hand. You are forced to pay shortages for missing food and your bonuses can be minimized or lowered for not hitting food cost targets. So basically it's a lose, lose situation. Waffle House will profit no matter what because they take the money from Managers either way you look at it. If you want a stable paying environment this is not for you. Barely anytime with family An paid less for more hours. If an associate calls out you are forced to work it to avoid overtime.... so your division can build his check...... they look at it like a good thing the company waste no money having a manager work an hourly position..... Waffle House does not go by labor. Holidays people always call out so you are forced to work doubles sometime triples........... not worth it
