Pros

Insurance 3 ten day vacations Decent Training Program

Cons

Work Life Balance is horrible. No holidays off. Only one day off during holiday weeks which is inexplicably tough. Promises a lot, delivers little and there is caveats attached that is not told during recruitment.

Thanks for dropping by with your throwback review! The grease "con" made us smile. It's definitely part of the charm (and the flavor!) at Waffle House, though we get that it’s not everyone’s favorite part of the job. We wish you the best in your future endeavors!
