Chipotle Mexican Grill

Kitchen Manager

June 2020 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

Schedule flexibility, free employee meals, paid break

What I wish was different

Unreasonably difficult to get a deserved raise

Advice

Make sure your starting pay is something you’re comfortable with because you will not get any raises ever unless you get promoted

Cashier

May 2020 - August 2021 • Avon, OH

What I liked

I liked that the work was repetitive and didn't require too much thought on my part.

What I wish was different

I wish that customers would have worn masks more and that we would have gotten longer breaks.

Advice

My advice is don't take anything too personally. Customers may be rude. Your coworkers may get on your nerves. Just remember that it doesn't matter or have anything to do with you. All you need to do is get in, do your best for your shift, get paid, and get out. It's a good job if you frame it right.

Server on the Line

May - August 2023 • Livermore, CA

What I liked

I liked the workers (most workers and even some managers were around my age), the workplace (the restaurant was well organized and managed), and the food (which was cooked and seasoned perfectly) was very healthy and tasteful.

What I wish was different

I wish the schedule was released earlier than Sunday nights because some workers had trouble knowing they worked Monday morning shifts until they would get a call from the manager asking them to show up or other workers to back their shifts. I also wished that Chipotle would ask the customers for tips since the workers work really fast and are under pressure to serve the next customers.

Advice

I personally really enjoyed working at Chipotle because I felt like I wasn't forced to work on my shift, but I got to sustain my favorite food chain at home along with great coworkers who always help each other.

Manager

October 2018 - July 2019 • Tyler, TX

What I liked

The connections I made with people throughout East Texas

What I wish was different

The way the store was managed by the GM. He had a good start but quickly let his authority overcome who he was as a person.

Advice

Never be afraid of taking charge. Managing is pretty easy. It’s just a lot of paperwork but with the right mindset, anybody can accomplish the tasks at hand.
