Chipotle Reviews

Pros

Free food, just run the grill

Cons

You cook for 7 hours straight. Bad scheduling

Pros

Chipotle has high standards for food, and is willing to train people to be successful in the food industry. Some restaurants are so serious about it, they will only hire workers who say they want to open their own restaurant some day. Free shift meals help offset the low pay. Easy transfer process, once trained. Tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Chipotle is allotted around $1.50 to spread across the ENTIRE staff in bi-annual raises, meaning hourly workers receive a minimum of 5 extra cents per hour after six months of work, max 25 cents. The corporate structure encourages higher ups to send brutally tight expectations down to stores with no consideration for workers. Employees have historically sued for abusive working conditions and unethical time theft from the company itself.

Pros

Good starting salary for a college student in 2017. Everyone was very family oriented. Some drama per usual when a bunch of young kids are working together. You get free meals though!

Cons

I got sick of the food after working there for 6 months. It took me awhile to want to eat chipotle on my own again. You also have to get there to open around 7am to prep before the restaurant opens at 11 am.

Pros

Great mission statement and purpose. You feel good about working there because of food with integrity. Benefits are strong. Compensation is decent but can improve.

Cons

No flexibility in working from home. Strong office only culture. Very hierarchical environment. People don’t take you seriously if you’re a more junior employee. People take their image very seriously. Lots of brown nosing to c-suite officers. There has also been a lot of turnover over the last year even though people started not too long ago. Pay raises are minimal despite company growth. Expect 1-2% raises on average. Executives always talk about how much the company is growing but is not reflective come merit season.

Pros

Good food, free food + 50% discount. all crew members were fun to work with but the work itself was not great, great conversations with coworkers during slower hours

Cons

Cleaning the grill with a mask during covid was a low point for sure. also constantly understaffed, as well as way too many tasks for closing

Pros

Not only is their food great, but the food policy for employees is great too. Free meal on shift, and 50% discount once daily. Flexible scheduling. The energetic environment at the store I worked at.

Cons

They shouldn't be throwing so much food away. :) Especially the rice. Wtf
