Pros

Waffle House is fairly cheap, so even throuhg this hard economic time it seems to stay busy, that's always an upside when thinking of job security. If you like to stay busy its a great place to work. The people you work with are either long time employees or fresh employees that most likely wont stay long. Hiring quality employees to work here tends to be tough, because it is the "waffle House", and they know that tips are not going to be real great. Overall it was not a bad experience and i worked at a frew that were individually owned and not corporately owned so my experience may differ from corporately owned jobs.

Cons

always busy, travel time and upper management as well as employee turnover

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
