Pros

The best reasons for working at Applebee's are the flexibility of the work schedule, which allows me to go to school, work, and have a family life, and the generally fast-paced work environment is also, at least for me, another benefit. Many times while I'm working 14 hour days half the day will disappear without me realizing it because of all the new guests to serve, granted this only happens during the holiday season on weekends.

Cons

No included gratuity for larger parties, only making $2.13/hr, which is more of a Utah downfall, and dealing with difficult guests.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
