      Pros

      Can be a great job under the right up-line management team. The pay and benefits are competitive. WH can give you a sense of feeling like a part of something.

      Cons

      The demands are unrealistic unless you are single without children, not dating, and no current living relatives. Sometimes the up-line management is ridiculous. They have no idea how to do their job. People get promoted because of degrees, not due to how well they manage a unit. Some management think they are in the Army and cuss and talk to people defrading, and believe this to be okay. It is unprofessional and humiliating, yet it happens on a regular basis.

      Used to be a fantastic company in which to grow professionally; now not so much.

      Pros

      Good pay comparable with other restaurant chains. Ability to earn promotions through hard work. Fun atmosphere.

      Cons

      Open 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week, 365/yr...No Holidays off, ever. Only 1 weekend off every 6 weeks. A recruiter will tell you that a Manager works about 55 hrs/week, however, in order to perform well, this winds up somewhere between 65-80. If you want to succeed at Waffle House, you better not try to have any kind of life outside of the company.

      Good pay, terrible lifestyle.

      Pros

      You are well compensated for your efforts if you are skilled in managing your store and its people.

      Cons

      The constantly fluid 24-hour work schedule and lack of professionalism and organization from the upper management.
