      Pros

      My coworkers were great and I had great pay. Waffle House is a super supportive community were they (at least the people I worked with and worked under) want to see you succeed.

      Cons

      The work-life balance is awful. 85% of your day will be spent cooking, not managing. Your primary responsibility as a Unit Manager at Waffle House is not to manage the restaurant but to be the primary morning shift grill operator. Not uncommon to work 11-12 hour days. You are expected to be on call 24 hours. I would not recommend this job unless you have a passion for cooking.

      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.
