Pros

They were pretty good about a flexible schedule.

Cons

There is no care for the employees work life balance or the mental toll the work puts on you. Everything is on fire all of the time - managers and home office staff quit faster than they can hire replacements. They lost 15 home office employees in one year…many of them were tenured employees who couldn’t take the disfunction anymore, but no one asked any questions as to why everyone left. When those people left in some cases they never hired replacements and just spread the workload to otherwise already overloaded employees and did not compensate them for doing two jobs. The brand has lost all of its original charm and what they stood for and has turned into an Applebees that values profit over people.

Pros

Super viral on social media. long term structure

Cons

The role was not what was presented during the interview process, and expectations changed almost immediately after starting. I was quickly given a much heavier workload than what had been discussed, which made the position feel misleading from day one. Management was split 50/50 where one side was solid but the other also lacked control over basic operations, which created constant inconsistency. There were effectively two different ways of doing the same task (Management’s way and the servers’ way) and standards were enforced 1/2 the time. Since staff often ignored direction without consequence. This led to confusion, uneven workloads, and a frustrating work environment where accountability depended on who you were. There also seemed to be clear favoritism toward certain servers. On top of that, management could be dismissive and unprofessional, including belittling comments, threats of firing or silent treatment. Overall, the workplace felt disorganized, unfair, and wayyy more chaotic than what was initially promised.
