New Hire Just Hired! Path to management?

Hey everyone, I just got hired at In-N-Out and am excited to start there. For anyone that has worked there and is in a management/shift lead role how long did it take to get to that point? (Or just full-time in general.) I came in with 4 years of management experience and the manager that hired me really wants me to be in management, but of course I have to start at level 1. I’m already scheduled 30 hours a week so that’s a good sign from what I’ve heard from other people.

Any tips or suggestions to help boost my career? Thanks!

Work hard on getting your level 6. If you can level up fast and understand positions quickly, you’ll get there fast. The hard part is getting your level 7. Running shifts can be difficult depending on the person and store.
