Applebee's reviews

-There is not much accountability when something goes wrong (a lot of things get blamed on the server when, most of the time, you have limited control over something going wrong) -You will be overworked and exhausted and have many weeks on overtime if you don't have many limits to your schedule -Like many serving jobs, the schedule is crazy and inconsistent -Oftentimes, newer servers don't get treated fairly by the managers in comparison to servers who have been there longer. I know this is natural in pretty much every workplace, but it is especially aggravating in a place where you put in a ton of hours and work hard, but never get any positive feedback -You can request time off, but they backhandedly give you a hard time about it and schedule you for bad shifts for a while

There is no cohesiveness among managers. The managers do not communicate with each other at all. Servers can relay information to a manager about shifts change or availability, but the managers will not communicate that with the others. There isn't consistency of expectations from day to day shifts. Rules are constantly changing depending on who is the manager on duty. They do not like when you question their rules. Management would rather discuss information openly among other employees. There is an extremely high turnover rate in management. Overall there isn't good leadership or high moral. Managers openly discuss with other servers about their distaste for the job and their lack of enthusiasm to work their shift.
