Pros

Plenty of hours if you want it kind customers, always interesting.

Cons

People think waffle House's lawless and is not, no support from upper management when there were problems, servers could come in high, not come in at all, be on FaceTime on their phones at tables, and no disciplinary action, every shift $3 is taken out of your check because the owner who's worked $2 million dollars, takes $3 out of every shift for employee meals.
