Pros

Apart from selling some of the finest restaurant food in the country, the online scheduling, electronic POSitouch system, and a well-organized system are some of the things that make working at the Cheesecake Factory fun. Everything is usually neat and tidy, and you know where to find what you need. The clientele is mostly generous for good service and thankful for a great meal.

Cons

Some managers can critique your mistakes too much. Workplace favoritism is sometimes grotesquely evident. The uniforms must always be white. They can be expensive to replace.

Pros

Great environment, beautiful building, most of the time there are decent customers, and it is very busy on the weekends.

Cons

It is very unfair how the sections and such work. It is seniority and how often you work. Your sections have nothing to do with the quality of the server.

Pros

The money you are able to make serving at any Cheesecake Factory is more than comparable to the money you could make working at any other restaurant that is not classified as a four or five star restaurant. The management is very knowledgeable about the recipes and prep for each food item, and the teamwork (when implemented) is very uplifting.

Cons

As always with restaurants, you work with a lot of college students who are all interested in having a good time and don't take their job and customer's experiences as seriously as they should. Sometimes the environment working around young people can become very hostile very quickly.
