Pros

Waffle House is fairly cheap, so even throuhg this hard economic time it seems to stay busy, that's always an upside when thinking of job security. If you like to stay busy its a great place to work. The people you work with are either long time employees or fresh employees that most likely wont stay long. Hiring quality employees to work here tends to be tough, because it is the "waffle House", and they know that tips are not going to be real great. Overall it was not a bad experience and i worked at a frew that were individually owned and not corporately owned so my experience may differ from corporately owned jobs.

Cons

always busy, travel time and upper management as well as employee turnover

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.
