Won't eat there ever...
Server (Former Employee), Montebello, CA –
Pros: none i can think of
Cons: uncaring management, unsantitary kitchen (hence i won't eat there)
A family restaurant and my section was anywhere from 3-9 tables.
This was my first waiting job so I learned about time management and how to wait tables, use a POSi touch computer system and how to manage my own bank.
The management seemed to not care at all about its staff. I was sexually harassed by a guest and the management did nothing when I approached – more...  them, in fact they told me they would do nothing about it.
It wasn't a positive environment and the co-workers were not there to work as a team, they were out for themselves. – less

I loved workng at Applebee's it was fun, fast, and wonderful
Hostess/Server/Bartender/Server Trainer (Former Employee), Madison, AL –
Pros: free food
Cons: long days
I had so many regulars that would come to see just me. I loved to get to know my customers and learn something new every day. This job by far was the funnest, coolest job ever. I miss it. I would go back if it was still like it used to be. But now everything has changed and there are so many new people.

The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing
Line Cook (Former Employee), Houghton, MI –
The GM is great. He takes time to help people learn their craft. Assistant managers, however, are collecting a check and tend to be abusive toward subordinates. The people I worked with directly were fun, energetic, and made time pass easily. The hardest part of the job was looking over your shoulders waiting to be barked at by asst. management.

Comfortable workplace
Dishwasher/Prep (Former Employee), Decatur, GA –
My work was simple, I usually came in and got straight to work. The other employees along with the managers were respectful and helpful at times. The hardest part of the job honestly was at the end of the night, not because of the work but because of the transportation. Other than that I enjoyed my time there while it lasted.

Fast paced restaurant environment
Server (Former Employee), Georgetown, TX –
Every shift varies on how busy it is. Co-workers were great, and managers were easy to get along with, most of the time. Very strict with customer service, but overall a fun place to work.

A good but very challenging job
Key Hourly Manager (Former Employee), Barboursville, WV –
Pros: discount on meals and wonderful staff
Cons: short breaks, long hours on your feet
Working in the food service industry is great if your hours are flexible and love working with the public. It was a fun great job but once I got married and settled down the hours were too much on me. Worked with a great staff of people wich made the job wonderful.

Neighborhood Expert & FOH Trainer (Current Employee), Mechanicsville va –
It's a great part time job. The hourly rate isn't sufficient to accommodate basic life needs. I'm usually scheduled 50 hours a week as a top employee.

Host (Current Employee), Council Bluffs, Ia –
Pros: get a discount, and tips everytime you work
Cons: dont have a set schedule
Easy, its a very easy first job kind of gets boring when nobody is coming in you run out of things to do quick. I have learned how to be more of a people person applebee's deffinatly brought me out of my shell. Co-workers will be co-workers everywhere you are. Honestly i dont think there is a "hard" part of being a host at spplebee's, and the most enjoyble – more...  part of my job are the people that come in and my co-workers – less
