Pros

Working in the bakery at the Cheesecake Factory was an alright part-time job when I was in college. Some of my managers and coworkers were really hard-working, caring, interesting people. It was also very easy to change my schedule, which was a nice perk. Free soup, bread and soda at lunch was nice too.

Cons

There weren't always enough people scheduled to work in the bakery, which made weeknights very stressful - mentally and physically. Bakers received minimum wages, and cashiers made little extra in tips, so there wasn't much of a monetary incentive to offset the aggravating aspects of the job. I planned to work my way up to serving, but noticed that servers with bakery experience were often given low-earning bakery shifts.

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.
