Pros

you can make tips depending on the shift

Cons

Waffle House has hit a new Low the big thing now cross train the wait staff to be cooks, why pay a cook when you can just not schedule one and use the wait staff at 2 bucks an hour, they are cooking for their customers. It’s well known they have been violating the Fair Labor Standards Act with the side work that is un tipped and often the second and mid night shift spend more time cleaning than waiting tables. When more than 20 % of a tipped employees time is spent doing duties other than waiting tables then the company is getting Chinese labor rate. Often the night shift is doing exactly that. IF you work for them watch your hours! If you are a new hire and they tell you its 10 hour shift and full time that's a lie.

Pros

Get to work with great people and obtain work experience. Great work environment and my regular customers were awesome. Always a good day and tips were good.

Cons

It was a lot of hard work sometimes and it was really cold all the time. There was drama between employees at times, but all in all a good place to work.
