      Good for some extra money in the bank account, but the in the words of my interviewer, "It's not a career."

      Pros

      When you eat there either before your shift or during your break, you get employee discounts on the food. For a restaurant job, the pay isn't that bad, and all the servers' tips are pooled.

      Cons

      The main problem was with my location in Ridley Park, but the managers never seemed to communicate with one another.

      Pros

      Flexible, enjoyable, relatively easy, experience in communicating with people

      Cons

      It is not necessarily an professional environment. There is some unexperienced management so sometimes it can be difficult to work for managers that are just learning how to do their job or managers who do not fulfill their role professionally.

      Pros

      Loved working with most of the people there. It made for a fun work environment.

      Cons

      The clientele of Applebees is typically a cheaper bad attitude type crowd. You work really hard and won't receive a 10% tip. Lots of times you won't receive a tip on $50+ tickets. Management will try to tell you it is your fault that your not making enough money even though majority of the problems servers have are kitchen or food packaging related. Not service.
