Pros

I loved the atmosphere and working life at Waffle House. The training is second to none, and the people are... well they are salt of the earth but a little rough around the edges.

Cons

Every friggin holiday it is required for managers to work. Basically from 2 weeks before thanksgiving till the second week in January, you can kiss you family goodbye.

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.
