Pros

You have the ability to take home money daily. Plenty of opportunities to meet new people and learn about the surrounding area.

Cons

Extreme hours. Some days as long as 14 hours with no breaks. It was expected for you to devote 6 days a week to Applebee’s with most days over 8 hours. The restaurant was filthy, invested with fruit flies and roaches, in which no actions took place to correct it. No team work was displayed nor a care for the customers or restaurant itself. The management was unprofessional at best. They refuse to give access to pay stubs or Human Resources. Management allowed employees to use drugs and alcohol while on the clock. They do not invest in employees, but expected you to go above and beyond for them. I personally had an incident where a manager closed a check in cash behind my back, which if I did not catch it I would have personally paid for that check unknowingly.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
