Pros

Work experience learning how to do every job in the restaurant business.

Cons

They have a new mission to do what they believe is to improve the waffle house image. They want to hire only four year degree managers. Hiring people with a degree is fine but hire the right people, not just someone because they have a degree. The company is willing to push out all the long term associates that have dedicated their lives to making the company a better place and the company repays them for their sacrifices by demoting them or pushing them out to make room for the new associates with degrees.

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.
