      Overworked - Unit Manager Waffle House Employee Review

      Pros

      Good employees, full control of store

      Cons

      You have to work the shift if you can’t find coverage, at a 24/7 where I was already working like 10hr days it takes a toll on you. If there is a cash register shortage they take it from your paycheck!

      Pros

      Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

      Cons

      They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
