What I liked

Great learning experience working with people

What I wish was different

Nothing

Customer service is not easy, it can be really socially taxing but it’s not the same for everyone. It can be a great experience to work with different people.

What I liked

I like the people that I work with, how well chipotle works with my college schedule and any other accommodations I need, and I like that they offer tuition reimbursement.

What I wish was different

I wish that the management was different in terms of how things are handled and I wish that there would have been more staff for how busy we get.

Advice

I would say that working a summer job (especially at chipotle) is a more of a commitment than people thing mainly when working full time and only to do it knowing that.

What I liked

The organization of the company was great. The other team members were also very nice!

What I wish was different

The managers were very unorganized. I wish there would have been more members hired. We were always running non stop and sometimes couldn't get a break since we were slammed and under staffed.

Advice

My managers were fired due to unprofessional behavior with other members hired. If you see something that makes you uncomfortable, make sure you report it right away.

What I liked

During a pandemic I believe we weren't really socializing as much, therefore working gave me the ability to finally interact with people especially after being quarantined so long. I like that this place gives me the ability to really practice my multi tasking skills and allows me to grow more as an individual for future experiences.

What I wish was different

I wish our store didn't take cash, because I'm constantly worrying about getting sick.

Advice

To have patience, be ready to multi task, and smile with your eyes.

What I liked

The challenge of working a pressure-cooker job with high stakes and little room for error. The relationships with coworkers. The deep conversations while preparing food. The food itself. Working with customers

What I wish was different

I wish I would have been able to transfer to a store in Santa Barbara and keep working there, but due to COVID restrictions on my college campus, I was unable to.
