      Character building - Head Hostess Applebee's Employee Review

      Head hostess

      Pros

      You get tipped as a hostess even, and pretty ok ones at that. It's always busy, so that can be good or bad, depending on your view.

      Cons

      You are a vessel for food, but also expected to be perfect, charming, all-knowing and patient. You will be treated horribly by one-time, passing through customers and creeped on by regulars. Get good at acting.

      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.
