Pros

The money, learning to cook, make friends, and really just having a great time working there. I love the way they make it so easy

Cons

Sometimes you will get rude customers and you want to really just suckerpunch them in the throat (dont), often you will get some people that walk out without paying and waffle House makes you pay for that food.

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.
