Chipotle reviews

It's the toughest job I've ever had. If you're not constantly working, be prepared to have a reality check. Prep and Grill at Chipotle are the toughest jobs. The workload is immense and at times it's excessive. The time expectations for Prep and Grill are super-human, and need to be revised to be more realistic.

-The training is a complete and utter joke: they sent the laziest bum of all the employees to train me to clean the lobby, and then the next day they threw me onto the line without a word of advice -The managers ABSOLUTELY play favorites, and if you don't fit into their vision of "cool and friendly" (at this certain store it happened to mean that you HAD to be Hispanic), then prepare to be ignored/insulted daily -The managers will constantly give you vague and confusing "advice" and then persecute you if they don't believe that you're following it. For example: "Show more character", "Integrate into the crew better" -All of the work is hard, tiring, and thankless - especially if it's your first job (as it was for me). Prepare to be paid minimum wage to press tortillas for six hours a day, with a mandatory huge smile -I truly took nothing out of the experience: no useful skills learned, no new friends made, and hands covered in burns (you have to basically stick your full hand into the tortilla press to grab soft tacos/quesadillas). The only thing I gained was utter contempt for all employees of Chipotle, and a burning desire to shift into retail!
