What is a typical working day like at Waffle House?

Free waffles every day and night.

Too many free waffles. Wow.

Amazing co workers Night shift has the best vibes Dayshift is very respectable Staffing is upbeat Good snack policy

Poor management Lack of professionalism The amount of people sleeping with co workers is insane and disgusting and they bring it to work. Favoritism is bad Pay is not worth it Depending on location customers can be..odd specifically drunken students who will try and physically fight you. The culture and values on paper is good otherwise it is never really upheld by workers

Guaranteed hours each shift; no getting cut early; associates can be borrowed from other stores;

no room for advancement unless a manager

Flip tables in 20 minutes and your tips will add up. Good management.

No real management at night.

My store, and devision in general, is good about accommodating times off, but also if you want to work. If you need an extra shift or two, your manager can reach out to other stores and see if they can help out.

Some stores don't have organization and/or team work.

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.

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.

The store is right next to the mall so very busy. Most people tip decent. They tend to work with you when it comes to your schedule especially if you show you are reliable, you can get anything you want. Never a dull moment.

Next shift coming in late or not showing up. Or not cleaning what they were supposed to clean during their shift. A lot of attitudes especially overnight.

Great place to work at night for tips

People can be crazy at night

They pay around 65k with over time

No work life balance. You'll be at work from 6am-4am and have to go back to do draw change on weekends night EVERY WEEKEND. 7:30-10pm Almost never get to enjoy friends or the money

Good district and store GM. I can only speak for the store I work at, as it’s what I call a “destination Waffle House”. Meaning people will pass other closer WH locations, or commute to my home store.

The callout system in lieu of a more traditional ticket expediting system is basically its own language that has to be learned bit by bit before you can be out on your own. Also, training in my district is only during 1st shift (7am-2pm) and I’m NOT a morning person.
