High posibilities of grow and learn,
good culture,
Not room for mistakes or unexpected things,

It is a good company to work for, but their management team was not well picked. I learned how to handle people in various types of moods and how to difuse bad situations. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the management, but the best part was my co-workers and regular customers.

Working with Chipotle was excellent for on the job training. Most locations were very effective with this, not only for crew positions but for developing managers from with in. Must have attention to detail, border line OCD.

Working with chipotle allowed me to experience diversity whether dealing with co worker or customer it was a great experience

making food and preparing it for people, getting to see and now different people

My responsibilities began with setting up for opening such as setting up the grill, stove top, rice cooker, and deep fryer. I was also responsible for prepping vegetables to be used for serving and cooking along with keeping work areas clean. I really learned about team work at an intense level and really enjoyed learning how to cut vegetables with – more...  precision. On some instances I believe a few of the managers could have stepped up with assisting the crew but overall I enjoyed working with my managers and the things that were taught to me. My co-workers I especially enjoyed. We were like family. The hardest part of the job was rush hour. It could get real intense but in the end I felt really good about what I accomplished for the day and that was the most enjoyable part of the job for me. – less

I was anywhere from a cook, to prepping the food, to being up front and dealing with customers.

A typical day is helping guest and working at a fast pace. I learned how to defuse a bad situation and how to keep my work area clean. You need to be organized and always running everywhere.

Your first days are crucial. Work hard and fast, and have fun! Take all the advice you can get from veteran employees, trust me, they want you to succeed! Same goes for the management. They NEED you to succeed, in fact. After you initial training, you face validation on one (1) station. Pass this and you will be on your way to a career with Chipotle.
The – more...  opportunities to advance and become a manager are clearly set up for you, although a lot of people fail to realize this. If you follow directions well and know when to take initiative you will surely succeed here. Chipotle is one of those companies that will give you everything and ask for everything in return. This can be very rewarding very quickly. Once you become a manager their is constantly pressure to move to the next level. This is great because you are pushed to success, one promotion after the next. Its like a chain reaction if promotions when someone in upper management gets bumped up, all the people beneath him go up a rung. You end up working with the same team.
I learned tons about working in a restaurant and managing a store. My co-workers were friendly and supportive. Over the course of 2 years I was promoted from a crew member to the lead management position at my store. Hard work pays off in this company. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with customers and growing with your store, the company and the community. – less

The day to day work is awesome! Customers and co workers are fun and high spirited! I worked here for 6 years and loved it. My advice is to not get promoted. That is when corporate pressures you to be completely devoted not matter what. Forget your family outings and time off because you will work 6 days a week. They expect hourly employees to have – more...  characteristics of an executive. They want you to care about this job like it is your career and will fire you at the drop of a hat. Great temporary job if you need a paycheck, but don't get too involved because they will be quick to burn you. They do a great job of selling the benefits to you but it is not worth what you will pay in the end. – less

This job was great for a person in hs or in college. But they do little to retain people after graduation when it is time to pursue a real job.

I felt so not included while working their. they spoke a lot of Spanish and gossiped a lot even the men. they were unappreciative. The manager in my area was so young and can't make decisions by himself. I missed some really nice people that made me have a nice time there. All and all is just an Okay place to work.

Working here it was very challenging and learned about management and customers and everything was enjoyable while working with great people and having a high performing team,

Not always a good sense of direction from the top created a lot of confusion and rework at the bottom.

It was fun. Work was great, management was helpful in everyway. Co-workers all got along and help each other.

Very open for advancement and opportunity
Most enjoyable part is the joy we bring to our customers

It was great working here. I learned many things her at this company. Management was excellent, and the co-workers.
