Good if you need quick cash - obviously very bad if you're working for the future. - Waitress Applebee's Employee Review

Pros

Depending on the # of employees there and the season, it's a nice place to work a couple key nights per week i.e. Friday and Saturday nights. If you can score these shifts and manage to not get sat with things like Tuesday mornings, you're golden. You're also very unattached from the job, and you get a pretty decent workout because you're on the move so much.

Cons

Family-friendly atmosphere sucks! Some bias toward who gets assigned to certain sections which can bring down the level of tips you get and the type of people you're serving. No ladder to climb, no future. Basically you only want to work here if you can score a nice section of tables a few nights a week for quick cash.

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.
