      Pros

      Perfect place to work if you are a college student and only want to work part time. There is opportunity to make decent money and great friends.

      Cons

      Restaurant hours are late. If you work for tips, the pay is very inconsistent. Can't request off for most holidays including 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter.

      Pros

      Discounted meals, overall fun environment. Getting to deal with new and different people every day. Having some of the best co-workers of any job I've ever had.

      Cons

      The upper management is too focused on "the bottom line." It becomes more about hitting labor percentages than making the guests happy and providing good service.

      Pros

      Applebees was a great place to work. I started there as a junior in high school and worked there through college. Have worked part time a few times since

      Cons

      It was difficult at times to get time off, at least extended time. At the particular applebees I worked at, there were several employees that didnt speak english, with was obviously a down fall.
