Pros

High Pay, 3 weeks paid vacation, guaranteed off days, stock, meet a lot of different people

Cons

No time to yourself. Even when you are "off work" you are never off. Your phone will be constantly blowing up. No free time. Work starts at 6:30am till about 3 or 4 pm. Then back at 9pm to do shift change. If anything comes up in your personal life there is no leeway. You are expected to miss all holidays, funerals, weddings, etc. It doesn't matter what happens in your life, they expect you to give every second to the waffle house way and will work you into the ground.

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.
