Pros

Some really nice kitchen staff, there was a really nice new manager when I quit so felt bad leaving him on shift. The store manager was really nice and understanding. The previous summer, I broke my neck and got a TBI from an unrelated accident, and so I struggled with some aspects, such as remembering what goes on what. The store manager was really nice and forgiving.

Cons

I was about a year into recovery when I started (from alcohol). Staff drank on the job and didn't communicate well to new people. It was a very closed-off staff culture. People talked about people behind their backs. There was more than once, I heard people talking about me behind my back, and it wasn't pleasant. So instead of confronting it, I quit. Which was more my fault, but I was also in school, and Applebee's wasn't where I wanted to end up.

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.
