Pros

Working in the bakery at the Cheesecake Factory was an alright part-time job when I was in college. Some of my managers and coworkers were really hard-working, caring, interesting people. It was also very easy to change my schedule, which was a nice perk. Free soup, bread and soda at lunch was nice too.

Cons

There weren't always enough people scheduled to work in the bakery, which made weeknights very stressful - mentally and physically. Bakers received minimum wages, and cashiers made little extra in tips, so there wasn't much of a monetary incentive to offset the aggravating aspects of the job. I planned to work my way up to serving, but noticed that servers with bakery experience were often given low-earning bakery shifts.
