Pros

The hours working are pretty flexible, overall days off are not a problem. The staff is friendly, and so is the management.

Cons

The salary is extremely low given the amount of work. There are no benefits for working at Applebee's. The company is cheap and penny pinching even when it comes to paying their employees.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
