They could do a lot better with acknowledging the fact that chipotle is not for life and students are only doing this for financial reasons and not trying to make a career out of chipotle

What I wish was different
Very disorganized and gave me more hours than i wanted. Wasnt able to do much else this summer because of long closing shifts 5 days a week with very little time between schedule posting and first shift. Couldn't plan a thing.
Advice
Be very clear about how many hours you want to commit to.

Take the time to weigh the pros and cons of a job not only before you get it but while you're in it and after to examine the job and how it impacted you. Good resume fuel!

Kitchen Manager
January - September 2018 • St. George, UT
What I liked
I liked the responsibility. I also liked the cleanliness that Chipotle holds their restaurants to be.
What I wish was different
I wish that Chipotle had not micromanaged as much as they had and that they treated their employees better.
Advice
If you go to work for Chipotle, expect it to be very hard work and very customer oriented. With the amount of work that they have they should be paying more than other fast food, but they're average. They care more about their customers than their employees, but this will teach you how to work and how to manage your time properly to get things done.

What I liked
I’ve worked for the company for a couple of years now and overall it’s been an enjoyable experience. I’ve have to take a couple leave of absences for school and each time I am welcomed back with open arms.
What I wish was different
My store in particular has gone through many general managers and that, in my opinion, causes the growth of the store to slow down.

What I liked
The people at the job are phenomenal and you can score some awesome connections through getting to know coworkers and managers.
What I wish was different
The environment is high paced and high stress, so it's definitely not for everyone. It involves a lot of recognizing your mistakes and learning from them. Management can often be critical.
Advice
You get what you put into it- you can move up quickly if you're willing to put in the hard work, or you can stay at the same position for the duration of your job. Chipotle is a decent food service job, better than most other fast food, and it pays well.
