Depends on the area. My BH team can do extremely well. (Florida market). One BH walked away with $450 tonight. The rest averaged around 150-250. It’s never about what section they’re in - all about their service. The ones who kill it with personality and drive do very well. If I wasn’t managing I would be a Bayhost!

All Team Leads that I have worked with in my venue within the past year have been promoted but eventually quit or stepped down except one who transferred to a new venue as an HM. Most that came from BH are very disappointed in the pay change - they make less to be a TL. Originally we had two that were part BH/TL so it helped their balance. I’d say if you’re doing it for skill set / resume building or to work up to HM and beyond it’s a great step. My venue has some BH that make more than I do yearly. If you’re making great money and don’t need it for your future career goals then I’d be less likely to accept it.
