      Pros

      The people you meet are interesting and fun most of the time. The work environment is also pretty decent and relaxed.

      Cons

      Not enough hours and getting cut. You don't get enough money! I have bills to pay! Sometimes, the people really put a damper on your day. If the food isn't good coming from the kitchen, then its not good for you either.

      Serving at Applebees can be an ideal job for working part-time while taking classes.

      Pros

      Working for Applebees was a great opportunity to meet plenty of interesting individuals, including management, co-workers, and customers. It really gave me an opportunity to work a part-time job, as much or as little as needed, while I was working toward a college degree. The management was great about giving me time off when I asked for it. I met a lot of great co-workers in the time that I worked for Applebees. Working as a server helped me to work on my customer service skills, in addition to making me a better multi-tasker and all in all, making me a more patient individual.

      Cons

      Working at Applebees was extremely tiring. Working at almost any restaurant requires long, late hours of being on your feet. Working several closing shifts a week meant late nights and sometimes having to return to work early the next morning to open. While the management was a lot of fun, they struggled to have the restaurant stocked. On a nightly basis, servers needed to tell their guests that they were not able to order certain items on the menu because we did not have the ingredients in stock to make them. This proved to be extremely aggravating. Any job involving serving the public can tend to be rather frustrating at times.
