Pros

Waffle house stores pays in cash every Sunday and if you're a server, you get tips every time you work and you don't have to tip out like most restaurants

Cons

Rude people, non tippers, and I don't get to see my family as often as I would like and there are no vacations

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.
