Pros

- The general floor/Kitchen staff are lovely. - The customers are generally lovely.

Cons

- Management is awful. I was hired after I completed a 4-hour trial shift one Sunday, as a Full-time team member. - I do my first 9-hour shift after this, I came in the next day to work which it was 30 degrees and in a tent with no air conditioning. Which, I find bizarre as I have worked in various restaurants and hotels with a lesser rating with air con. - I sadly, get let go after 1 hour into my shift with no real reason other than "we don't think you're suitable for the waffle house". - I was never given a contract, so I couldn't see what my rights were which I find very unprofessional. - They start you on training a week after you join, but you're expected to work. No logic whatsoever... - It seems they only want a certain 'type' of people. - They advertise you get 'great tips' Yes, they are indeed good but however you do get taxed on this as it goes into your bank rather than the cash.
