Pros

I put myself through college working at Applebee's. It worked out very well. I was making no less than $450 a week while working only 20 hours a week. The staff were always supportive and friendly. Two thumbs up!

Cons

There were honestly relatively few cons when it came to working at Applebee's. Though I have to admit that there is relatively little to know room to move up the ladder. Communication could also use a little improvement.

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.
