Pros

I have enjoyed my co-workers

Cons

Every week you have to work to get hours the sore is keep so over staffed that even people that have been their for years tead to get their hours cut so make room for new people we don't even need. Some Mgr's will even try to put you on all 3 shifts not thinking about how bad it is to have overly tried workers. Waffle House does not give raises.

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.
