      Pros

      Most of my co workers felt the same as i did.

      Cons

      It seems that most of the ethical, hard working, dependable people are the ones taken for granted. They hire these too young, encourageable, often times lazy asf store managers who can't cook or maintain order in the establishment ,to operate unduly and unfairly in the work environment.Waffle house is not a place for lazy people..Teamwork makes the dream work..

      A decent job, but not the best company to work for.

      Pros

      - Comfortable uniform - Customer interactions can make your day

      Cons

      -Meal credit is taken out of pay, even if you don't eat. -New PTO system is terrible, especially for anyone who tends to pick up a lot of extra shifts - Pandemic was handled terribly. Pay cuts, one person shifts, and refusing to let stockholders sell when they needed the money most....

      Hi there, All stockholder sale requests have been honored and paid and will continue to be. Large requests had to be paid out more slowly than in pre-COVID times due to cash availability. Paid Time Off caps out at 60 hours currently but we aim to raise that cap over time. At 1 hour for every 30 hours worked, it takes a full year for someone working 35 hours every week to max out at 60 hours of PTO. Grill Operator pay was cut temporarily, but all rates have been restored to pre-COVID rates. Thank you for all your hard work!

      Pros

      Cash in hand at the end of each shift, weekly paycheck with guaranteed hourly minimum, free shift meal.

      Cons

      Outdated system of "calling in" orders and paper tickets leaves much to be desired; it's tough to get the hang of if you're used to a point-of-sale computer system for placing orders. Servers are also responsible for pricing every order and tabulating the tax and total for the handwritten tickets - a really unnecessary pain if you're busy.
