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

• Hiring practices make sure that all employees are competent and NICE. Incompetence and unprofessional demeanors are not tolerated. Everyone who works here is friendly, kind, helpful, and smart. • The perks are great. Competitive salary, great benefits, free-flowing coffee, tea, soda, and fruit. Lots of fun corporate activities. Many, many opportunities to eat cheesecake! • Because this is such a great place to work, there is a tendency for people to stay a long time. This leads to lots of promotions from within. The company is comitted to everyone's development and growth. • Fast-moving, challenging environment. But only in the most-positive ways. • Beautiful offices.

Cons

• Some people gain weight when they start to work here from all the great food. • Calabasas is not a convenient commuting destination from a good part of L.A. county. But if you live in the valley or ventura county, this is your place!

Pros

I joined The Cheesecake Factory in 2014 so I am still pretty new, especially considering that so many people have been here over 10 years! It's a great sign that so many people stay with this company. In the few months I've been here we've had several FUN activities & celebrations with many more coming up. I am honestly HAPPY to come to work every day!

Cons

This isn't even a CON really. There are so many people here I am still meeting somebody new almost every day. Oh, and I did relocate up to the area from Orange County, but there are benefits to that as well.
