Pros

It's always busy so time flies by and the money is good, but not great

Cons

300+ menu items / 100+ cheesecakes and 150+ drinks to memorize inside and out. Sound impossible? it is. I didn't have to work this hard for my Master's Degree. The money is good, but you can make just as much working at Applebees or Fridays and not have to walk on eggshells for snoody cliental in an open plan restaurant where your every movement / facial expression can be observed. Not to mention you have to where all white, which gets dirty and expensive to maintain. I've worked for many restaurants and I thought I would make GREAT money at cheesecake, but you really don't. Expect 150 TOPS for a super busy night shift, and 250 TOPS for a double. I'm sorry but I can make 300 on a double at a casual dining restaurant wearing comfortable clothes and being able to actually talk to my guests. NOT WORTH IT.
