Unit Manager Trainee at Waffle House
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jackson, MS Feb 2013 – Reviewed Apr 9, 2013
Interview Details – 3 interviews. All easy. They are selling the job to you. Desperation. Anybody with a college degree is IN. Background Check. Personality test. Drug test. Credit check. Nothing to prepare for.
Interview Question – Why did you apply to Waffle House? It sounds like a no-brainer obvious interview question but the thought process of how you're going to respond is what makes it challenging. Clearly no one dreams of working at Waffle House in any position. LOL! Answer Question
Negotiation Details – They asked me what was I making at my current job then offered me $11 an hour.e

Grill Operator at Waffle House
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Elkton, MD – Reviewed Feb 27, 2013
Interview Details – First, I called a hotline where I answered various personality questions. Then, I contacted the store to get an interview with the general manager. I had two interviews. I thought the general manager was very young and hip. I thought the district manager was friendly, but serious. The interview was at a table where the customers eat, not an office. The work culture is very energetic and stressed, but lethargic and dissatisfied.
Interview Question – Did you put in your two weeks at your last job? It didn’t work like that at my last job. My last job was also a minimum wage position and if you wanted to quit, then you would tell the manager and that was it. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was not able to negotiate. This is a good position if you are in your late teens or early twenties.

Interview Details – I went in the store and got a mini application. Filled the mini application number out and called the number on the back. Got my confirmation code and wrote it down. Took the mini application back to that same Waffle House and filled out another application and I gave it to the manager and he said he would give me a call back.

Waitress at Waffle House
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Kinston, NC Sep 2011 – Reviewed Dec 13, 2012
Interview Details – Very easy, just be willing to work. Tell them you want to work everyday and you will be hired.
Interview Question – None, didn't ask any questions. Soon as I said I wanted to work everyday, she told me she will call me that next week. She called me on the exact day she said she would, and told me I was hired. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – None, you get paid 2.85 no matter what. They take 30% out of your check which makes you only get like $60 a month if you part-time.

They require that you do what is called an "in unit" where you work a weekend doing whatever task they can find to feel you out to see if you have the moxy to make it.
