Waffle House Employee

"Hard work, hard hours, some good people. Your experience depends on your upline. Make no excuses and you will be fine. Hard on family life, you learn a lot though. They will lie to get you on board, so believe half of what they say, and if you're good with half then you'll be just fine. Never forget it's 24/7 with only one day off during major holidays, and when someone calls off you fill that whole, and sometimes you work doubles to save payroll. Once you successfully work here every other job will be a breeze. Life changing experience for sure. Good luck!"

Door Agent

"I currently am working as a Door Corps at the Waffle House location on Ingleside Road in Norfolk Virginia, and am a part time employee, but they cannot seem to get my paycheck correct weekly.... It all started back in August, when I took 2 days off for my birthday, but made them up the following week. I was of course not paid for the days I took off, but I was also not credited with the days I did work to make them up correctly, because the manager on duty did not put in my time correctly. This was corrected, somewhat. after I spoke to a different manager who had the money I was shorted returned to me the following week, but the pay for that week was also low. Again, I had to get the money I was not paid correctly added to my following week's paycheck, but then that paycheck was also light. This has happened every week since then, and again today, which is supposed to be pay day, I have been shorted. This is getting ridiculous now, and I am beginning to think the people they have working in the payroll department are completely incompetent, and that the managers are just lying to you about correcting issues to get you to leave them alone. IF you do take a job here, be prepared to keep close eye on your hours worked because their scheduling system is confused to say the least, and the on site managers do not really care about you at all."

Cook

What do you like about working at Waffle House?

"I like the customer interaction, talking to people, being able to be sociable."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Do not expect to move up in this job. It is a temporary fix for say students or someone needing a job immediately but still looking elsewhere. It should not be a permanant solution. You will get nowhere."

What don't you like about working at Waffle House?

"When I started being too reliable and dependable it was EXPECTED of me and if I needed a day to relax or if I got sick I was still expected to work even when I had worked for 2 weeks every single day."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Show a little more respect and appreciation to those who deserve it."

"Basically given a stick and told to make fire. We impressed even ourselves with our ability to always come through. Dialup internet, COBOL iSeries, Visual Foxpro, .NET 1.0, the list goes on and on of old technologies we were expected to use in order to produce highly functioning tools."
