Love the job, dislike the crew. I work third shift at Waffle House. The shifts are ten hours long. - Server Waffle House Employee Review

Pros

Three days off a week Paid vacation every 6 months Good health benefits Getting to meet a lot of different people Cash every day

Cons

Long shifts (boring on the weeknights when there isn't a lot of business) Team members are allowed to do whatever they want without consequences. Favoritism. (What one person gets in trouble for, another won't) Always running out of certain items. No managers on third shift at waffle house EVER!

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.
