Waffle House Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Waffle House is an excellent way to be introduced to having serving experience within the food industry. They have staff readily available to help any new employee by providing the necessary tools to do the job well. The hiring process is typically short and training takes only a few days. The coworkers are very patient and helpful toward new employees so that the team does a good job as an entire unit."

"Waffle is a great place for a College student to get experience in management. It is also a place where if you don’t have a clue what to start your career this is the place for you. It is also a place where if you don’t have a family/kids is a great place to start"

"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!"

"Bad pay, mean coworkers, management, and customers. I worked third shift for a year at Waffle House and was CONSTANTLY harassed by coworkers and drunk customers. Everyone on the job smokes weed or drinks out back during the smoke break. They rarely followed rules. Everyone complains about their personal life. The cooks recently got a raise to $10 per hour, when they do NOT deserve it, I can't tell you how many times I've done there side work, they never have to deal with yelling customers either."

"I have worked for Waffle House for 18 years."

"Great work with great upper mobility. Waffle house works everyone very hard but also compensates their managers very well. Be prepared to work all holidays no matter what. If you are good at your job you will move up quickly at this company. All stores are are open 24/7/365 so you will be getting a few midnight phone calls from your associates. Overall, Waffle house has many great people to work with and a great overall work experience. Having a restaurant background will help you."

"If you are looking for a long term career, this is it."
