Pros
FLEXIBILITY!!!! Applebee's is very accomodating when it comes to your availibilty. If you have school, another job or something unexpected comes up such as a family emergency, they will work with you. You wont find another company more flexible with scheduling. They also have a program called Concord Cares that will help pay for unexpected expenses like a funeral or medical bills. Most of the time its $500.00. Also Concord cash. Its like money you earn for doing a good job and you can buy some pretty nice things off of their website. I myself have bought a dvd player, a Bath and Body Works gift card valued at $50.00 and a blow dryer and hot roller set.
Cons
Managers and employees alike seem to come and go as if the company is a revolving door. Aside from the couple of programs they have and the flexible scheduling, there's not much incentive for keeping your job. No raises for servers. Hosts pick and choose who they want to give tables to and they don't like to help clean off tables which they should do since the servers have to tip them out sometimes as much as $25.00 out of the servers tips. They need to pay the hosts an hourly wage so the servers can keep their money that they earned. Sometimes the managers get on power trips and treat the employees like slaves. And all black uniforms are ugly and depressing. Applebees is supposed to be known as a fun, laid back, family oriented casual dining place so we should be wearing colors and jeans. How professional do we need to look to serve people sandwiches and salads in a sports bar and restaraunt? We are going to our "fun job", not a FUNERAL!!!

Pros
The clientele were often kind and the coworkers were as well. The work was simple enough and sometimes fun and upbeat.
Cons
Often people did not communicate and made many mistakes and caused much frustration. My particular Applebee's did not treat employees very well in addition.
