      Pros

      The guests, coworkers, and food.

      Cons

      The slow business days were an issue but other than that nothing really to critique about Applebees or the company.

      Pros

      the best part to working here was because of the flexibilty and working with the people. Trying out new foods and drinks, just the community that was built

      Cons

      Management was not ideal and could have used some courses in business ethics. Also the area manager was unprofessional with the way he talked to his staff.

      Pros

      Steady hours, I worked nights. Easy cooking job, half the menu is just microwaving portioned food and throwing it on a skillet or plate. Fun working with all the other employees. Team environment. It was all about getting through the rush each shift and then just cleaning up.

      Cons

      Lazy managers that are concerned with meeting quotas. Which translates to cutting the crew down to one person but then not helping when that one person suddenly gets slammed with a bunch of late night tickets. Then, one hour later, manager asks why it took 20 minutes to get table so-n-so out....huh%$#
