    The Pros outweighs the cons, as long as you have good friends at the workplace. But the cons can be deadly.

    Pros

    * Free Meals * Extremely flexible schedules (with the exception of Christmas and New Years) * The ability to cross train into different positions (unless you’re in a position that’s desperate for employees)

    Cons

    * Depending on the work environment, working here can possibly get you sexually harassed, assaulted and or defamed. In my two years here, I have nearly gotten into a physical altercation with a ex-felon in the dish-pit over getting bread-plates, and one of the managers harassed me and I told him to take it outside with me (he never did and apologized). * Cheesecake Factory does not do background checks, you can easily land yourself working with a sex offender or violent offender that they randomly hired off the street. * I have seen many times where people would get sexually harassed at work and management did not stop it. There were instances of workers who have been reported by multiple witnesses of sexually harassing people; and they have been fired. But generally, if a sexual harasser is trying to harass you outside of work, the company will do nothing to protect you. I have personally experienced being sexually harassed by a coworker over social media, and the company did nothing to protect me. * Depending on which location you get hired, there is a great possibility that you will work with many toxic individuals. A majority of people I worked with, heavily indulged themselves in drama and perpetuated a culture of it.

    Pretty chill and mature workplace

    Work overload and no breaks!

    Pros

    Easy to get suckered into a job offer in the bakery even if that’s not what you applied for because no one wants to work the bakery.

    Cons

    Unrealistic demands on work load, intense cleaning, heavy lifting and restocking. I felt like I was working for a cleaning company or in the warehouse again with all the EXTRA DUTIES they require you to do before they let you go home. They come inspect your cleaning with a cloth and run their finger along surfaces to check for dust. It is highly exaggerated and they make you feel like a child and it is very insulting. I don’t use the bathroom until I get home because they make you sign this waiver when you get hired pretty much waiving your rights to a break. You supposedly get a break only if you work a double shift. That’s the trouble with working for food and beverage places that don’t have a Union to protect your rights. They see that you have been working your tail off all day and they just check in every so often ( the managers) to ask if you are having fun and they are serious! You only see your schedule for one week at a time and makes it very difficult to plan anything in advance not knowing until the last minute if you’re going to have to work.
