      Hostess Interview

      Jun 22, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Lufkin, TX
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Applebee's (Lufkin, TX)

      Interview

      Extremely short and easy. Casual questions like "Why Applebee's?" and "How would you treat this customer?" in front of a panel of three managers. Took about 4 days. I called them multiple times to check on my application and got an interview easily. I got the job, but after working for four days from 4-12:30 and not getting paid, I quit. They were very unorganized.

      I interviewed at Applebee's (Loveland, CO)

      Interview

      This was a pretty easy interview process. I was asked if I had ever dealt with difficult people and to say what was my motivation for wanting to work at Applebees. It was overall very chill and I enjoyed it.

      Application

      I interviewed at Applebee's

      Interview

      The interview process was fairly straightforward and I felt that the interviewer did what they were supposed to but the focus seemed on like what corporate wants unfortunately. The experience was fine overall though.
