<human>: I have been looking for a new job for quite some time now because it has become apparent that I am going nowhere in my current position. I work in the hospitality industry as a Banquet Captain. My current job is one where I make 25,000 a year, most of it from gratuities from the functions we host, decent benefits, 401k and it's pretty easy for me to have/get time off most of the time. The main issue other than room for advancement is that it is either feast or famine as far as work available. Sometimes I work 6 days a week, 4 hour days making $250 a day. Then there are times when I don't work 2 days a week. I've been able to keep my head afloat during the lean times but it can be a bit tedious. Of course we recently hired a new salesperson who really knows her stuff and looks like she'll be bringing in lots of business so I could easily stand to make more it's just not guaranteed.

The new job is Banquet Manager at a smaller, family owned facility. It is a salaried position, 30,000, but with a lot more hours required of me, worse benefits, no vacation time for a year and no 401k. The main attraction is that part of the position entails getting some experience in sales when the facility isn't busy. This is where I would ultimately like to end up, on the planning end rather than operations side and the only thing keeping me from something like that now is a lack of experience. 

My major concern is that I have heard that this place has gone through 3 or 4 people at this position in the past couple years and that I was the second choice for this position as they gave somebody that was already there a chance, didn't like her and called me. How long will they stick with me?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Should I risk the job security I currently have for a very unsure opportunity that I'm not even sure I want? Is $5000 more a year worth working 15-20 more hours a week?
