Pros
It is fun and laid back for the most part. Its basically like a bar that happens to serve food. It has alot of energy and because of the low menu prices you meet alot of different kinds, and classes of people. Alot of the guests become regulars and come 3 or 4 times per week, so its like a family. Applebees pays quite well compared to other restaurants. Depending on what franchise you are in it could be a great experience if you are new to thw business, if you are not its a very easy restaurant to operate.
Cons
It can get rowdy depending on the location, the menu changes quite alot. There is alot of turnover because most FOH employees are in college.
