Applebee’s POSITION: waiter/Cook

Columbia, SC

I took this job for a second job and extra income. I started out as a waiter. I enjoyed doing this job but due to the pandemic and low customers, it was a up hill battle. They switched me to a cook’s position, and this would give me steady income, but the hours were limited. I would have stayed but I need more income and more hours. It was unfortunate I had to leave, but the hours and income didn’t work for me.
