Pros

-great culture with fun work events -nice allowance to use at the restaurants -flexible hybrid schedule

Cons

-hard to move up for many individuals -pay is okay but not great compared to other companies in LA county -only executives get to enjoy the many perks including stock -company as a whole is very diverse, but there is no diversity on the board or in executive positions. You can guess the type in these roles. -every aspect (about 95%) of the company is overseen and approved by the CEO instead of trusting experts in their roles.

Pros

The Cheesecake Factory is easily the best company I've ever worked for...and I've been through a lot. Beginning with the company culture, and extending all the way through operations and into our restaurants, I've been inspired every day by the approach everyone takes to their positions and their daily interactions. Other companies hold certain values, but everyone at The Cheesecake Factory believes in and lives by them every day. The warmth and dedication to their individual roles and responsibilities is only amplified by their commitment to integrity, decency, and doing whatever it takes to support every single person else around them. Everyone is not just accepted but welcomed with open arms for who they are and what they bring to the office every day. I couldn't say enough good about this place, and I hope to never leave.

Cons

Like every company that's been around for almost 50 years, it's a little slow to adapt to current times when it comes to technology or a few other recent best practices. But no one is closed to new ideas—it just takes a while for them to take hold. Salary levels are fine, but growth takes time at the company—mainly because no one ever leaves (in a good way)—and that may not be the best fit for everyone. But the pros about this place make it worth it.
