The interview process itself is easy. You meet with a manager for a screening, and come back another time for another interview with a different manager.
The lack of professionalism from this specific Applebee's is what stood out the most. When I sat down with the manager, she skipped any pleasantries or "tell me about yourself" type questions and directly said, "So, what's your experience?" At first I didn't think that was much of a big deal. Later, I asked what the atmosphere was like whenever the restaurant gets busy and how cohesive the team is. She told me that she has to yell at staff up to 5 or 6 times, and justified it saying that they don't come to the window fast enough to get food out of the kitchen. This was another red flag. At the end of the interview, she told me that I would hear back by the end of the day if I'd be moving to the next interview. I got in the car when I left and told my partner that I didn't think it would be a good fit, but at least it would be temporary (I later found a job I'd like to stay at long-term).
There was no call, text, or email by the end of the day. Then no communication the next day. Two days after the interview, I sent an email asking for a status update. No response. Two days after that I called the restaurant to see if I could confirm with the manager. A different manager answered and said that she'd make a point to tell the manager I interviewed with to contact me. Nothing ever came.
I'm not disappointed about not getting the job, and am fortunate to have found a fit with a communicative staff, but I do want to share this as a warning to anyone applying to the Albany, OR Applebee's.
