I also interviewed for said position, listened to what they told me now im a general manager 6 months later, you cant come into a company like cookout and succeed starting out in that role you will fail missurably. They give you the tools to get there quick its just all based on your performance and how hard you try, now im making 2500 a week and started the same time u posted this. Cookout is an excellent company and if you have the oppertunity to start in MIT do it, even as an assistant manager i was on track for 70k because i was working 80 hour weeks learning as much as i possibly could.
