Pros

Applebee's has flexible hours. I work three jobs so they did their best to accommodate. I loved other servers there! I formed long lasting memories over the past 5 years.

Cons

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.

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.
