The Cheesecake Factory Employee Reviews about "coworker"

Pros

Good to place to eat at

Cons

Bad energy Inconsistent and unreliable coworkers

Pros

half off food when working and 25% off on your off day. All the coworkers get along and its a fun work environment and a great job to gain experience from and work multiple job titles at

Cons

phases you often so you work only a few hours when promised a different amount for that day or week.

Pros

None that I can think of except a few individual coworkers I’ve built good relationships with. Some managers were great, about half.

Cons

I have worked at companies before where the management was great. Almost all of my jobs in the past I loved, but the Cheesecake Factory is currently not that. People talk and talk and talk. Instead of working, servers are on their phones. I used to work at a restaurant where they told us not to be on phones because of the bacteria that can be spread from hand to phone to food contact. Half the time the cooks don’t even wear gloves. Most of the servers don’t even like working there and constantly complain. Every time I walk in it feels like I have to wade through water just to feel like I’m making a difference. It is absolutely ridiculous. I have never worked anywhere where people talk behind your back, are intrusive and will spy on you and who you talk to.

Pros

Good hourly rate compared to most basic jobs: $14; different food purchasing options for employees (discounts or free)

Cons

Lack of management presence compounded the issue of employees in the bakery behaving disrespectfully and aggressively towards guests and coworkers. It was a nightmare working with such awful people.

Pros

Awsome food and tips, great benefits and a fun place to work.

Cons

Coworkers can be picky and unhelpful as well as clicky

Pros

Hiring for front of house is reasonably selective which results in a solid team of competent coworkers who are generally friendly and helpful. Very flexible schedule.

Cons

Unpleasant clientele is more than willing to take advantage of the policy to offer free meals for any sort of complaint. Example: A guest eats his entire dish, asks for a manager and says it "tastes funny" gets the meal that he already ate for free.

Pros

none you are overworked and unappreciated.

Cons

I was sexually harassed and groped by my coworkers for upwards of 3 months destroying the trust I have in the industry altogether.

Pros

- flexible schedule - promotes management within for outstanding employees (I can think of at least 2 coworkers that were promoted from server to manager) - they have many locations nationally so it's easy to relocate to another cheesecake if you need to move regions/states

Cons

- this could only be a problem at specific locations, but where I worked I would sometimes have to deal with hostile kitchen staff who could make the shift a little difficult.

Pros

If you work well under pressure the tips are usually worth it. You also get pretty steady schedules and your coworkers usually want more hours so they’re always willing to do trade-offs with you. The restaurant also gives employees free meals so that’s a plus that you don’t have to pay for food all the time. And if you want to venture off into other positions there’s lots of opportunities to do so.

Cons

The bakery can be unorganized and extremely busy. You will have to work fast during dinner rush and lunch rush and then the day before holidays you won’t be able to get off because those are usually large order days for desserts, so they are considered blackout days you can’t have off.

Pros

Good pay, fast paced, you can easily be promoted and be paid $15 an hour as a cashier

Cons

Coworkers were rude and aggressiver
