Pros

Good district and store GM. I can only speak for the store I work at, as it’s what I call a “destination Waffle House”. Meaning people will pass other closer WH locations, or commute to my home store.

Cons

The callout system in lieu of a more traditional ticket expediting system is basically its own language that has to be learned bit by bit before you can be out on your own. Also, training in my district is only during 1st shift (7am-2pm) and I’m NOT a morning person.

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.
