Pros

Highly focused on the guest. Committed to freshness, quality and innovation. Room for advancement if you are results driven and great with people.

Cons

Lots of changes to keep things fresh requires a lot of extra training time. Good investment but time consuming.

Pros

Plenty of coworkers to pick up shifts if you need to call out.

Cons

I was a host and carside specialist. Tips were scarce on Carside and waiters resent hosts for Applebees' tipsharing policy. Having 5 different managers made for terrible communication. A friend of mine was fired from a waiter position because one of his tables walked out without paying and he refused to pay their check with his own money.

Pros

50 percent off food and long hours

Cons

EVERYTHING, unset schedules, never get any breaks, Neighborhood experts are hard on trainees, managers like talk to their employees like they are scums. THe pay sucks. THE turnover rate is high for a reason.
