The performance based pay plan is horrible and the bonuses are based off things totally out your control. - Area People Director Waffle House Employee Review

Pros

Free gas, free food, and the ability to travel to different stores in one day. Company meeting food is pretty good!

Cons

Insurance sucks, a bunch of wear and tear on your car sucks. Operation management treats you like crap!! Have to work every holiday in a productive slot meaning cooking or washing dishes all day.

Pros

Good money opportunity regarding tips - balances out to an above average pay at the end of the year. Easley store has good management. Company wide competitive base pay rate in the serving industry. Effective strategy for order taking, placing, and EOS duties. No seniority bias.

Cons

As any serving job, there are slow no-money-making nights. 1st and 2nd shifts are not guaranteed full time. They offer the opportunity to request low income where they will bridge the gap if you make less than minimum wage but this is almost entirely unused by the servers to the complexity of the reporting process.
