Pros

The pro's of working for Waffle House are they put an emphasis on the care of people first through servant leadership, taking care of their employees, and their families. I have noticed in the people that I work with that they have high expectations and a growth mindset to get better everyday to reach the goal of ensuring that every individual who walks through the doors of a Waffle House has had a good experience or memory. Lastly, I observed the company values a strong work ethic, authenticity, humility, being relational, community, growth, and having a purpose bigger than ourselves. Also! In-house tradition, music has always been a part of the Waffle House experience and I love playing my favorite songs.

Cons

What some may think of as a con, I think of as an asset and a rewarding career; our work ethic. My observations are that everyone I work with, works hard. This includes Servers, Cooks, Managers, District Managers, Division Managers, Area Managers, SVP's, all the way into corporate. I have nothing bad to say about Waffle House so far in my experience.

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.
