Pros

Since it is a restaurant, your Applebuddies (co-workers) are usually all very charismatic and outgoing, which makes for a great environment. You get to meet new people each day and best of all you will be come nicer from having this job! When you are payed to be nice to people, it becomes a habit.

Cons

Getting a job at Applebee's can be difficult, if you have connections use them. Also, it is not the best restaurant for getting a discount on the food, unless you are a cook you pay close to full price for each item.
