Pros

I worked at the Douglas store in Lee's Summit, MO and had an overall great experience. There were of course some managers throughout the years that weren't the best, but for the most part I loved every second of my time there.

Cons

The turnover rate is incredibly high with all staff, including managers. But that is a common practice in the restaurant industry.

Pros

Flexible schedule, tip share for hosts and bartenders, semi-casual dress, easy to learn roles

Cons

The Applebee's I worked in was in chaos. Management tells you you're doing a great job to your face and then talks badly about you behind your back. Too much gossip between employees, creating drama where there shouldn't be any. Management doesn't talk to each other so there's dissention between shifts. Manager is profane when speaking to employees yet insists that employees keep clean language when talking to him and each other.
