*Managers are down-to-earth, and try to help in all departments if they can *Tips (you get paid everyday) *Flexible schedule, can usually work or get off by communicating with co-workers of the same position. *Minimum wage is guaranteed if tips are unreliable during slow business *Friendly customers and employees make your day brighter *Good place to work for a sports enthusiast like myself *Corporate often visits

Cons

*Favoritism usually trends towards female employees and older indivuduals *Hard to move up even if you are the best worker *Clock-Out times are often unclear *Lazy or MIA employees in any role slow down the entire business flow *Ignorant customers make it hard to stay friendly *Management lacks communication skills,

Pros

When I first started my Applebee's was a company owned restuarant, Relationship with the staff, above average starting pay for the area

Cons

New owners making promises they did not keep, taking vacation away, lowering bonus dollars available to earn, closing continually, pay increases extremely low, low bonus potential for both restaurant managers and general managers, expecting too much from too few staff, inconsistency with direction, setting unrealistic profit and labor goals, lack of communication in my last store.
