Great Company Overall! - Accounts Payable Doherty Enterprises Employee Review

I’m starting my fifth week of training and so far I can tell that Applebee’s is really a fun place to work for. Great manager team and noticed that many of the employees have a long tenure with the company.

No cons so far, I’m very happy with what I have been through. Great place to work!

I entered this job with five years experience already as a server, though with zero bar knowledge. The five day, planned and structured training modules and shadowing are helpful for those not familiar with restaurant work or certain aspects of it (such as I was). Frequent sales or other campaign contests made the shift fun and earned me some extra cash from time to time. I worked with many lively, friendly, funny, and otherwise fun people to be around.

While working with many people that were joys to be around, management's overall lack of conflict resolution left much to be desired when issues arose. Hours also varied in extremes between understaffing and present employees not getting help they need on the floor or behind the line and overstaffing when brining back students during the holidays/summer and giving a position to whoever walked in the door. The latter which led to loyal team-members seeking out secondary or other all together roles elsewhere.
