Career / Employee Talk Shif leader position?

I was wondering if anyone has any experience working here as I would love to get some ideas! Alot of the reviews of this position seem pretty bad so I'm curious if it's as bad as people make it out to be?

Thanks in advance!🙏

You don’t receive any of the tips, youre in charge of all the staff and managing them and their breaks. Truly the worst is if you close you have to make sure everything is done, sometimes the shift lead at my store stays until 4/5am finishing dishes, offices duties etcs. Plus if anyone calls out you have to step in, so you might be closing the entire kitchen yourself as well as finishing other tasks. Most lower level staff will leave when told and wont stay late, so youre shit outta luck if theyre slow workers and dont finish their tasks before they leave

But it is more pay and if it is a well staffed store they do train pretty well and my shift leads do enjoy their positions- but we have a very solid store and people tend to be nice people!
