      A tough job, political, but some good folks

      Pros

      Joe Rogers (CEO) really does have a good heart. Once heard him tell the Mayor of Atlanta that the reason he refused to close was because his employees couldn't afford to miss work.... and that the Mayor should get the busses running after a storm. There are some awesome people that work for this company- he is one of them. Those that know him would agree. There are also those on the other side of the coin...

      Cons

      The lifestyle of a Unit Manager is not sustainable on a long term basis... 24/7/365. You are promised opportunities to advance, exceed written and oral goal, and then someone else is given the role. Promotions are political, no ifs, ands or buts. Amazingly, I was offered three seperate promotions after I gave my notice, including one on my last day. Waffle House is your life if you expect to succeed here. If you are ok with that, then you can make it. But just know going in that most folks don't think the juice is worth the squeeze.
