Pros

There is plenty of money to be made and hours to work. Especially in a larger city with many locations.

Cons

The older workers, who have been working at Waffle House for decades, are stuck in inefficient ways and are not open to change.

Pros

This job is somewhat flexible.

Cons

No room for growth with department. Management does not take concerns seriously. Work is not appreciated and efforts are not rewarded. Pay is not comparable with others in same field. Promises made but never kept. No work/ life balance.
