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

Discount on food. WH provided the motivation I need to finish my education.

Cons

Managers do everything! There are no Asst. Managers. Mangers are responsible for that monster 24 hours a day. There are no holidays off. Not even if it falls on your rotating off days. The higher ups like to come in and show you all the things you do wrong. Joe Rogers came in and set the stove on fire and let me another manager trainee to put it out. The employees steal and don't show up for work and your penalized. You have to come in every Friday and Saturday night at 9pm for shift change. Which eliminates any weekend family outings.
