The Cheesecake Factory Outlook Employee Reviews

What makes you most happy at work?

Having the opportunity to expand you as a person into meet and greet new people and socialize well

They're comfortable with my peers around able to socialize and have developing conversations that can enhance my work ethics and learn new skills as I go

The relationships i build with the people i work with.

Working together as a team

Working together as a team

When customers say that they look forward to seeing me.

The energy and the environment is a comfortable setting

The experience or learning more ways and recipes or uses of different ingredients

Team work and making customers very happy

Great pay and level up

I feel proud who I represent. I feel valued as my skills and achievements and I am being told by my superiors. I feel appreciated and respected. And I love my job and the people I interact with. And the positive vibes our company has.

Closing out the shift successfully

When everyone is doing their job correctly and diligently. When servers actually refill pictures and keep stations clean. When everyone does all of their side work. When the kitchen is on top of the food.

Big TIPS while meeting new people

Everytime i see my co-workers

Interacting with co-workers and setting up a shift to run smoothly.

The people; its a very family cultured environment

my team mates, the training and support, fun times

being around good and postive people

Leaning new skills from different spots and stations.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Lack of care in the restaraunt very few people actually working and leaving others to do all the work

The current managing staff is just downright disrespectful. New managers should come in

Managers don't care and they are showing favoritism.

Poor training bad very bad attitude lack of respect for customer

Management is overworked & have lack of passion. They let us know how fed up they are to the point where asking them for assistance has become a burden. Bus boys are NOT team players whatsoever! Management needs to promote team work & hold staff responsible. Favorites are definitely played here!

Review from Operations Dept

Boost moral and more incentives

Review from Sales Dept

Management at my location does not follow corporate policies, food-safety, FIFO, or the labeling and time stamping of perishable foods. When the issues are brought to their attention, managers retaliate against those who point out the issues.

Review from Sales Dept

We need higher pay, more organization between managers and more resources. If I have to go searching for glassware to get my tables drinks every day, I'm not going to be excited to go to work. I have managers who I ask for help and they tell me to go find a different manager--that shouldn't happen

Review from Operations Dept

Better follow through, praised, and support from corporate.

Review from Customer Support Dept

They need to pay the employees more and if an employee is begging for hrs and you hire more people it leads to a high turnover rate

Review from Sales Dept

Just hard work, I'm not sure anyone is really excited to go to work

Review from Customer Support Dept

Budgets are the only thing that matter. Money isn't spent to fix things, buy needed supplies, or on proper staffing. More focus on the guest and less on the numbers. There has to be a balance and it's only lopsided

Review from Sales Dept

The kitchen quality has recently gone down and that has caused the guests to complain a lot more and it can be incredibly embarrassing and frustrating when your guest thinks you did something wrong but in reality the kitchen made it wrong or someone ran it to the table wrong but did not care.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Need management support. Kitchen out of control. Food quality poor. Long ticket times. Employees abused by guests.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Being forced to claim tips I don’t have and getting more money taken out of my paycheck. WE NEED 18% GRATUITY ON CHECKS

Review from Sales Dept

The bakery never has enough staff. Working in the bakery has effected some staff members mental health. Shift hours are either too short and we get sent home early or worker have to pull multiple doubles and are left exhausted with a short break or none at all.

Review from Sales Dept

Need busseres to help refill waters and drinks and box up food!

Review from Sales Dept

Better management regarding servers they don’t appreciate bussers and bartenders or kitchen staff

Over worked and understaffed on a daily basis

Review from Operations Dept

Learn from Google and Facebook CEO
