Pros
I work here for benefits. The company is constantly growing and changing. The hours are 50 per week which isn't bad if your not closing and then opening. There is not a great balance between family and work. With all restaurants Applebee's is your life.
Cons
The change of leadership in 2yrs I've had 5 different area directors and 3 GMs. They will yank managers from stores and transfer them constantly not leaving any consistency within a store. There is opportunity for growth but instead of promoting from within they continually bring in people from the outside who are terrible and know nothing about the brand expecting them to do a great job and have respect from the team. I had a GM who I was constantly doing his job because he didn't know anything? Where do they find these people. Makes it frustrating to go to work. They don't really give raises. Mine was the max at .33cents :/. And they cap their managers off at 48,000
