Pros
I worked at the Fort Lauderdale Las Olas location. The store has an awesome staff, and I met many great friends. Great serving job to do while pursuing other passions. Also, Cheesecake Factory has a rigorous training program while hard at first, it will grant you many future opportunities in the service industry. Cheesecake servers know what they're doing. I never found any issues with the managements, because I followed protocol and was respectful in the workplace. My work ethic was rewarded with compliments, good serving sections, and a prime schedule. The GM is a former football player and treats the restaurant like a sports team. I don't think that's a bad thing, actually. Play your part and you'll see results.
Cons
The seasonal aspect of the location makes it hard to predict business. Some days were completely dead, and I'd walk out after only having 3 tables (September-October). Other times, you could be short staffed during shift change and end up running around like crazy. Also, the guests can be a little nuts and unpredictable, but that's South Florida for you. I know it's like this in a lot of restaurants, but the cook line was ridiculously disorganized and cared nothing for anyone on the other side of the window. They don't cooperate with servers or managers and are just there to get a paycheck, rarely worrying about the food quality, presentation, or timing. Probably one of the worst lines I've ever had the displeasure of working with.
