Pros
Applebee's International was a very different place to work when Abe Gustin was at the helm. It felt like a family work environment. We were professional but still were able to have a lot of fun. I can still hear Larry's voice coming over the intercom on days that they decided to let us go early. Once Abe was shoved out of the picture, at was all about money and the bottom line.
Cons
They are now owned by I-Hop that wants to franchise every Applebee's restaurant. Bottom line is the only thing that matters, not matter what they put the restaurant worker's through. The will penny pinch them to death.
