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.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
