I'm not even saying rise through the ranks at BK. I worked at Walmart and I had an opportunity to get fast tracked for management and I turned it down for similar reasons. But don't write off the prospect of success completely, man. I believe that mentality is a trap. Some of the more cynical socialist types would ironically rather you stay a wage slave so long as that keeps you loyal to the cause. That's the real reason success and wealth are frowned upon by those circles imo.
At the store level you can still be a human being. Rising above that requires a different level of company loyalty and that mentality bleeds down into the store level as well. Shift managers tend to be fine but even becoming store manager tends to either make you an ******* or make you stop giving a **** and stagnate.
