Pros

Sometimes you get to leave at 3:00pm. If you slave and throw away your life you can advance after 2 years. Also good benefits.

Cons

on call 24 hours. As a manager Trainee your not respected. They throw you in a restaurant with a manager you'll one day be competing against, so how motivated will they be to train you??? YOUR NOT GUARANTEED A STORE! After you finish Waffle House University they put you on what is called "The Bench" meaning your on the waiting list to run a store. Ive seen people wait 90 days ive seen people wait 9 months I've seen people get it right after WU it all depends. Also your only payed $10.77 an hour thats nothing! then they tell you your salary is going to be $35,000 a year, which you have to work "55" hours a week, thats insane. Also, your schedule will say off this day and the day before you'll get a call saying your schedule has changed we need you to report to a store 40 minutes away to do catering or something pointless. If you have family or a wife/Husband this is NOT for you. Please don't make the same mistake I made. I'm trying to save you all. This is the worst job ever. Make the right decision your worth more.

Pros

Good environment, customers are usually kind, coworkers are nice as well and easy to get along with as long as you help one another.

Cons

Not enough training, Hours are usually to little or way to much, when coworkers become angry they throw a fit like a 2 year old.
