    Good Company overall

    Pros

    Good workers are taken care of. Long hours but usually there was money to be made if you didn't mind working. As far as restaurant jobs go, Cheesecake Factory is one of the better ones out there. Benefits are offered and the company is growing so there is room to move up in the company if that is your goal. For many people who are just there as a temporary landing spot while they figure out what they want to do, it's a good place to work where you can make good money in an entry level job.

    Cons

    Corporate Culture sometimes limiting. Sometimes long hours expected of staff

    Pros

    Working at Cheesecake Factory allows you to make a good amount of money compared to other restaurants. While the corporate restaurant nature can be overwhelming at times in general the is a good atmosphere.

    Cons

    One of the biggest downsides that I found working at the Cheesecake Factory is the over emphasis on the negative things that are going on within the restaurant rather than emphasizing the positive.
