Pros

Paid more hourly than most restaurants. You get a vacation check every 6 months if you've worked at least 28 hours every week. After you've worked for a year you receive a $100 Christmas bonus every year.

Cons

Management does not keep floor stocked enough with essential menu items and condiments that customers NEED! Things like steaks, ketchup, to go silverware, butter for waffles. How do you run out of these things so often? We get blamed as their waitresses though it's not our responsibility You have to wash EVERY dish that your customers use including pots and pans. Management doesn't really acknowledge how hard you work. You have SOO many jobs to do at once. Juggling between being a janitor by cleaning bathrooms to bus person and taking orders by phone AND playing waitress. Cooks: receive bonuses on their checks per sales. Many are cheated out of their bonuses. They also have to cook by themselves for a whole restaurant and sometimes it's way too busy for one cook. It's REQUIRED that you work Christmas or you will be fired. Everybody have to work Christmas day. There is hardly any opportunity for advancement.

Waffle House is really a great place to work. I currently work for waffle house, and regardless of what people have you try to believe, they are a great place to work. My coworkers are like family, my unit manager is great and easy to get along with. Our customers are awesome. Good tips.

Cons

The only downside to working at waffle house is when you work 3rd shift, it's sometimes boring. I dont work 3rd.

You can make good money, they give opportunities to people that do not have enough education.

Cons

Check back every night, no assistant manager, employees calling out almost everyday and you have to work their schedule.
