Applebee's reviews

Terrible management that liked to micromanage everything. Management treated most employees like disposable trash. Management liked who they liked and disliked who they disliked, it didn't matter how hard you worked, if management didn't like you, you would be treated with disrespect and scheduled the worst hours. In many occasions, the employees that were slower and did not care got the better hours and more respect than the ones that worked their butt off. New rollout added many new sandwiches to menu which made things more complicated during lunch. Corporate had strict rules about labor and food costs that had to be followed.. our store had very high turnover, so the food costs were fairly bad, which reflected on everyone. The raises were frozen for 6 months and still haven't been given up to the day I left. Some people were there for a year and a half and still didn't get a single raise. Most of management didn't care about their employees, just the bottom line, which was actually counterproductive because many didn't work very hard because management would find fault whether they worked hard or not. The words "good job" barely existed except between coworkers

Poor management, worse training, no teamwork, no consistency, horrible cleanliness, constant mistakes, poor planning and prep, always playing catch up.
