Pros

A paycheck. If you can survive this is great experience that will look great on your resume.

Cons

Having to go back to the restaurant on Friday, Saturday, and the night before 2 days off. The pay starts off at $10.77 for all Managers in Training. Management is very mean spirited. They want you to work like a slave for $10.77 ( with over time you will get the $30,000 plus a year). You are in charge of $6000 or more worth of inventor. If ANYTHNG comes up missing it comes out of YOUR paycheck. To sum it up. Waffle House wants you to throw the football and catch it to... If you are capable of doing this then this is the company for you... GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
