      Pros

      The original management staff was great, but they slowly quit or were fired. It was easy to make friends with coworkers.

      Cons

      Management did not care about the workers and played favorites. Many customers were rude and difficult. Workers were lazy and didn't follow rules or had other people do their job while they slacked off. Management was unprofessional and didn't take workers somewhere private to talk about private matters, they did it in front of anyone.

      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.
