The Cheesecake Factory reviews

-consistently stressful, loud, and crowded -fast paced -some guests were very rude to the staff -kind of feels like high school, some staff and guests just won't like you no matter how hard you try. -always on your feet -never affected me, but I saw some hostess ostracize one another and it felt cliquy -the work gets pretty physical and can definitely do damage if you're a hard worker -if you're a hard worker, you might be moved linearly in the company rather than further up in position..sure you'll get more experience in a different area but you'll have to work harder for a very small raise (about .50 each raise)

"Lean" IT Team, too many non technical chiefs and not enough working staff. Merit system is terrible. Health Insurance is constantly going up annually. No telecommuting policy even tho it's one of the reasons they are on the list of best places to work. IT leadership is stagnant and really geared towards self-interest. Leadership is also ran as a "boys club" a lot of negative talking in manager meetings regarding staff members. Senior Leadership participates in this behavior and sometimes leads the charge and no one ever speaks up out of concern for retaliation. HR complaints always seem to result in no action being taken and things being swept under the rug. Wether it's physical altercations between staff members and or verbal attacks during meetings. Their are problematic people who seem to never leave and all the good employees look elsewhere. Hopefully things change with a changing of the guard and hope is restored.
