      Pros

      Applebee's is a great place to start of when it comes to customer service. At applebee's I have learned a lot of skills that I will need further down the road. The staff is nice, mostly. The food isn't to bad.

      Cons

      The hours suck. Most servers go in around 4pm or 5pm and do not leave until around 2am- 4am. It's a tough schedule for anyone that has a regular life; students. There are also no set gratuity for parties so most times they do not tip the proper amount, if anything. The employee's are mostly convicted felons... applebee's is not strict on their employees, they hire anyone.

      Pros

      Flexible schedule and a high amount of guests each day. Very easy to make good server money if you work hard.

      Cons

      Management plays favorites and the staff gives off a high-school vibe with the cliques and drama. I would not recommend spending time with your co workers.
