Pros

You'd assume that I would say free waffles but what I really loved about Waffle House was the friends I found along the way. The bus boy was my best man, I married the night cleaner. This place changed my life.

Cons

The master grill operators always tried to steal my wife, I assume it was because of the jealousy.

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.
