Pros
Great company to work for in the hospitality/food service industry. The Cheesecake Factory allows students to make plenty of money with a flexible schedule, supplies it's employees with health care, and allows experienced employees to move from restaurant to restaurant via transfers. I personally worked at five locations including San Diego, Hawaii, and Boston. If restaurant management is something you are interested in, The Cheesecake Factory compensates their managers very well, encourage growth, and reward good and loyal managers who deserve rewards.
Cons
It is what it is. If you are looking for a job that leaves you fulfilled and prosperous, being a server at any restaurant is not going to cut it. Also, like any restaurant, favoritism does exist. But if you are a good employee and do the right thing/work hard/go above and beyond, you will be one of the favored ones.
