Pros

The people you meet are pretty cool and the food is good. Some of the managers are awesome. BUT...

Cons

I was lied to three times during my interview. I was told I would make enough money to survive, I would get 40 hours and there was no seniority. I am not surviving (I can barely even pay just my rent), I have only gotten 40 hours once since I have started and people who have been there for 10+ years, stand around looking into their phones or yapping to eachother while you do all the work. Also if you are front of the house, you have to pay for your food (half off). The kitchen knows it's for an employee and the food tastes and looks like crap. The kitchen gets to eat free and they get paid better.

Pros

The Cheesecake Factory is easily the best company I've ever worked for...and I've been through a lot. Beginning with the company culture, and extending all the way through operations and into our restaurants, I've been inspired every day by the approach everyone takes to their positions and their daily interactions. Other companies hold certain values, but everyone at The Cheesecake Factory believes in and lives by them every day. The warmth and dedication to their individual roles and responsibilities is only amplified by their commitment to integrity, decency, and doing whatever it takes to support every single person else around them. Everyone is not just accepted but welcomed with open arms for who they are and what they bring to the office every day. I couldn't say enough good about this place, and I hope to never leave.

Cons

Like every company that's been around for almost 50 years, it's a little slow to adapt to current times when it comes to technology or a few other recent best practices. But no one is closed to new ideas—it just takes a while for them to take hold. Salary levels are fine, but growth takes time at the company—mainly because no one ever leaves (in a good way)—and that may not be the best fit for everyone. But the pros about this place make it worth it.
