Pros

The pay is nice compared to other establishments, great people work with. This company is great once you get to or past the regional position.

Cons

Long Hours, You work all Holidays, Cooking with a Title if you are a manager at waffle house you are cooking on the grill. Waffle House is 24 hours so if 2nd shift grill op calls out guess what your working if you cant find a replacement.

Pros

Great money. Compensation is the best part about this company. Great opportunity for advancement if you are willing to relocate. Good health insurance and company stock purchase program.

Cons

The hours can get pretty extreme. 70+ hours a week not unusual. Support from other management almost non existant. On your own.

Pros

-Wide range of customers -On first or third shift you will have a fairly steady stream of customers -Most of the people you work with are nice, down-to-earth individuals.

Cons

In our area... -As a server working second shift you DON'T MAKE MINIMUM WAGE. When you are hired, you are informed that you will be compensated if your expected tips add up to less than minimum wage, but this is Not the case and trying to get the issue resolved is like pulling teeth. -Hours where there is not a single customer in the store. -If the previous shift leaves their side work unfinished (specifically dishes) you have to get that done before you can get started with your own work for the day and it can seriously put you behind.
