Pros

There's plenty of growth at Waffle House. Takes about a year or two to be promoted. It is not a seniority based career; it's performance base. What you put in is what you get out. I really like working with the team I have, awesome division manager who genuinely cares about our lifestyle and development. The environment I've been in have been very nurturing. Everyone is treated fairly.

Cons

-New upper level management with NO experience or understanding affects the whole organization.

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.
