Pros
The people who worked at Applebee's were outstanding and remarkable people. The environment was relaxed but still professional. Management was friendly, competent and flexible with scheduling accommodations. Excellent if you are looking for part-time work to pocket some cash.
Cons
Living on less than $3 an hour and tips is just not possible where I worked (It barely covers what you will owe in taxes after claiming tips.) Unless you are being employed at an Applebee's that is very popular all the time, you will not be able to afford working there if you also live in an expensive area. (Such as the Greater Boston Area) With $4.5 billion worth of sales just from last year in 2013 alone, you would hope some of that money could go towards paying your 28,000 employees a little better.
