My first job in high school was as a dishwasher at an Italian restaurant. I worked until 11:00 p.m. week nights and until 1:00 a.m. weekends. I also did stints as a pizza maker and a cook--but the hours never changed. As this was a one-off restaurant owned by the manager, I knew there was no room for advancement.

My senior year I got a job as a bank teller. The bank closed at 7:00 p.m. week nights and at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. And it paid better. I felt like I had WAY more free time too. There was room for advancement (personal banker, branch manager), but even that was way too competitive for relatively low-paying jobs. And banks today (didn't then) merge and shed staff when the economy sneezes...or heats up...or stays the same...

Pizza Hut manager is a job, but it not a job you do for life unless you manage to live in your parents basement your whole life. Most retail/restaurant jobs don't pay the bills--even for the management. I'd say it's okay to do, but be actively looking for something better that is a career.
