Pros

The tips on first shift are great and I've met some really nice people from working there.

Cons

It's stressful working here. I absolutely hate when I have to go to work because other servers and managers I work with intimidate me and are sometimes rude and expect you to understand everything after a week of training. I also work with a manager that's racist and will say anything to you. I never knew that a job could be so stressful. There are times when I felt like crying and quiting on the spot because of the stress and being overwhelmed....another thing about working at waffle house is its very dirty!! It's terrible . There needs to be something done about the roach problem . I panicked when I seen it and when I told my manager about it she acted as if she's seen them since birth ... I HATE THIS JOB !! And I'm currently looking for another one

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.
