My coworkers make working there better

Review from Product Dept

The employees. We all get along and work well together.

Review from Operations Dept

The paycheck is all that comes to mind on this question. And it doesn't cut it for the amount of labor behind it

People have fun you also make new friends and connect

the customers tend to be very nice

My fellow co-workers were the most positive thing about working at Applebee's I was treated like garbage by management like I didn't even belong there like I didn't even belong there

The coworkers and most of the guests are amazing. My only issue is one manager there. Overall I love my job

It's mixed between good and bad

the 5 good co workers

Restaurant is very clean and comfortable.

The home like atmosphere and the welcoming initially which alot of the employees will be creating

It's set at a busy corner of a intersection.

Interacting with coworkers and morning shift managers

not much they are just not nice people

The customers are the most positive and the cooks. i look foward to seeing my guest satisfied.

Managers need to want to be there

Everytjing feom staff acknowledgem t to working as a team.

And understanding of how to perform your duties for each station.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Rules are there for a reason & need to be enforced for the good of the patrons as well as staff. For the better of everyone.

Our managers need to be refreshed on how to manage to ensure that guest and employees aren't left to figure it out on there own

Change in management and please make sure store has with it needs on the truck. I have worked there since October snd each week its something diff i have to tell we dnt hav its embarrasing last week no mash, no bun, no fries no bonesless = no $ money me people dnt want a burger & brocc!

Review from Customer Success Dept

Sometimes in my experience when one employee is volitale it effects the whole team in additude towards each other.

Everything. This place needs to be shut down

Management needs to keep their outside life, outside of work.

Review from Sales Dept

I think this place would be a Better work environment a better heath meeting speciation vironment, if the gm would stopp being so mean and hostile and showing favoritism, everbody should fell welcomed and comfy

There are just too many people with different personalities involved. Some people think they're better than others.

Hire more people. Managers should be supervised by upper management and held accountable. Incetives to keep your emplyees.

Hire people who don't see a new hire as a treat to they job.

Review from Customer Success Dept

By not allowing managers in second or third key positions to be able to retaliate towrds employees when complaints to the general manage have been made.

Server only allowed to work 2 hours per shift . This is absolutely ridiculous . The manager favortising certain coworks by "allowing " them to work more hours . No server should work less then 6-8 hours unless they request to work kess . I work 6 days a week 2 hours each day . This is horrible .

Management and the Gm honestly

Diversity is a big deal

the General Manager needs to appreciate his employees much better and needs to watch his foul language when speaking to his employees

The managers need to be more professional. Stop throwing their staff under the bus with other staff.
