Pros

Great stock and profit sharing program. If you love to eat Waffle House they have a good meal program for employees. Training is minimum wage but then you go down to servers pay after training.

Cons

This is not a job for a person with small children. I had to work all holidays and barely got to spend time with my kids. I also worked overnight so I slept the majority of the day. October through January is black time. You cannot take of and if you do not show up you are automatically fired. There is no chance for growth. Unless you have no small children, I would not recommend this company because they do not understand or have any empathy for people and their families.

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.
