Pros

Advancment in the company, great managment, and four vacations a year, and they really stress the ownership in your unit as a manager.

Cons

Have to work all holidays at this job but that is expected in the resturant industry. But overall not a bad company

Pros

Salary pay base plus commissions Fun atmosphere 24 days of vacation Paid based upon performance as far as sales, retention, managing operational costs, recruiting, etc.

Cons

Have to work every holiday On-call 24/7 since restaurant is a 24 hour operation Have to report back to work every weekend for night shift change Potential of working possible doubles or even triples if you can't find a replacement cook

Pros

Waffle House is fairly cheap, so even throuhg this hard economic time it seems to stay busy, that's always an upside when thinking of job security. If you like to stay busy its a great place to work. The people you work with are either long time employees or fresh employees that most likely wont stay long. Hiring quality employees to work here tends to be tough, because it is the "waffle House", and they know that tips are not going to be real great. Overall it was not a bad experience and i worked at a frew that were individually owned and not corporately owned so my experience may differ from corporately owned jobs.

Cons

always busy, travel time and upper management as well as employee turnover
