Waterfront Location: Good Money & Fun People BUT Absolutely Awful Leadership That Doesn't Make It Worth It

Pros

The employees are fun and kind and you make a lot of friends by working here. The customers are also really fun and I rarely left a shift with less than $150.

Cons

Management & Corporate--The management turn over is like nothing I've ever seen. I wasn't even there a year and I saw at least 4 new managers. To keep things brief, Cheesecake Factory recently purchased Fox Concepts (which created Culinary Dropout) and it's gone so down hill so fast, it's really not worth the cash for the stress and passive aggressive mistreatment. The original owner of Fox Concepts opened a hotel and about half the original staff left Culinary Dropout to go to his hotel because they missed how things were because Cheesecake Factory.

Pros

- Competitive income for a serving job - Staff is fun and has a community about it - Restaurant gets high traffic compared to a lot of other restaurants in the area

Cons

- The most work you will ever do in a serving job (2 hour side work) - Very late hours - Management is VERY disrespectful to staff, passive aggressive, and has power trips-- doesn't seem to care about the lives of staff outside of work - Very difficult to move up, tends to rely on outside hires
