Pros

Good pay for a cook position. Training is good. Flexible hours

Cons

Customers seem to think they are at a 4 star restaurant... it's Waffle House people.! Servers are terrible to each other. It is stressful cooking 8 different orders at the same time by yourself.

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.
