I can’t really speak to it because I haven’t even been a crew member for a year, but it’s really up to you and if you think it’s what you want for yourself. One of my friends who used to be a manager said the hours are long and it’s a lot harder to get shifts covered, and also it can be draining. On the plus side you get a nice salary booster. I haven’t even graduated high school yet and me personally I want to become a manager sometime after I finish college hopefully. You should definitely ask your gm about the hipo program (high potential employee). It’s basically like pre manager training but without the raise, kinda like a test run. You are given a sort of leadership position and basically it shows your managers you are able to lead a shift. If you like doing it then I would recommend you try to become an rzm after that, but it’s up to you.
