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.
