Applebee's reviews

Can be very long hours, without ANY breaks at all. You never know what time you are going to get off, you may be scheduled to leave at 8 o'clock and end up being there until 11 or 12. Tips can be unreliable, ranging from $2 a day to $140 in my case. No benefits. Food discounts are very stingy (only 25% off). I personally don't mind, but if you are sensitive the kitchen is a place for all kinds of crude jokes and sexual harassment at times. The people you work with can be very unreliable and you end up getting punished for their mistakes, if someone doesn't show up for their shift while you're working, you will have to stay to cover their shift.

Living on less than $3 an hour and tips is just not possible where I worked (It barely covers what you will owe in taxes after claiming tips.) Unless you are being employed at an Applebee's that is very popular all the time, you will not be able to afford working there if you also live in an expensive area. (Such as the Greater Boston Area) With $4.5 billion worth of sales just from last year in 2013 alone, you would hope some of that money could go towards paying your 28,000 employees a little better.
