Pros

Room for advancement. Also it will teach you a lot about running a business

Cons

Need to allow managers to have a personal life. When you become a unit manager you have a decent salary depending on your sales in your unit but after you look at the amount of hours you work. You hourly rate ends up being maybe $10 an hour and this happen pretty much every week. Forget weekends and holidays with friends and family. Once you agree to Waffle house they own you and they will get their monies worth. Just beware if you join this company. Oh yea kiss your kids goodbye hopefully you will see them before they graduate high school.

Pros

Loosely set busy periods (breakfast, lunch, dinner, bar crowd) Meet lots of new people and friendly familiar faces 80% of the your co-workers are honest, hard working people just trying to makes ends meet

Cons

Little to no recognition for good work Expected to make sales with oft times questionable supply amounts Occasionally pushed to do work outside your position (i.e. Salespeople cooking) Nearly impossible to contact management for emergencies during their off time No bonuses for salespeople and few for cooks to encourage and continue excellent work
