Pros

Plenty of hours if you want it kind customers, always interesting.

Cons

People think waffle House's lawless and is not, no support from upper management when there were problems, servers could come in high, not come in at all, be on FaceTime on their phones at tables, and no disciplinary action, every shift $3 is taken out of your check because the owner who's worked $2 million dollars, takes $3 out of every shift for employee meals.

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.
