Vantaggi
The Cheesecake Factory is a melting pot for some of the best managers and chefs in the country. The atmosphere is fun, extremely fast paced, and mature. The staff will help you move forward and will take time to help you develop personally or professionally. The staff are very forgiving of mistakes, which makes learning your job much easier. If you're afraid of being harassed for a mistake, it won't make you afraid of making the mistake, but of the person. For someone just starting out in the industry, it's well worth starting out here. With a 200+ item menu and standardized restaurant operation, it's probably one of the best places in the United States to begin working at right out of culinary school to get a good look at your textbooks at work. You will meet life-long mentors and make good friends. Just be sure to brush up on your spanish if you're on the coast.
Svantaggi
It's sometimes difficult to hold a second job because of schedule requirements, requirements that nearly each other restaurant simultaneously requests. The Cheesecake Factory typically opens in areas that require a higher income to live within a reasonable range of work. This means that sometimes even staff without dependents can have a difficulty sustaining a necessary second job to maintain their residency. Excluding overnight jobs of course. For staff with dependents, a second job is an absolute necessity. As with any restaurant job, maintaining a family life will be difficult.
