Pros

I love the people I work with on a daily basis. My department focuses on career and personal development. I feel supported in my decision making and my skill progression. I've been givien the opportunity to be cross-trained in several areas which gives the opportunity for greater compensation. I feel like my managers have my back. They are very understanding about work/life balance and encourage me to take my time off so there is no burnout and I can do things that are important to me and my family. My department is very busy and though sometimes we can be stretched very thin, if we ask for help they will bring in a temp or find us the support we need to get things done.

Cons

Some of the challenges of working here are that it is very busy. My department is small, but mighty and we are stetched thin at times. Sometimes there is a separation of information from department to department. Everyone is so focused on their projects that they forget that others need to know that information as well.

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.
