Chipotle Mexican Grill

Service Manager

October 2018 • Tampa, FL

What I liked

What I liked about this job was it was a way for me to maintain busy as I stayed in the Tampa area during the summer. It allowed for me to still have a responsible as I did not take any summer classes alongside this job. It was a great way to meet new people and take work relationships outside of the workplace and allowed me to gain long-term friends who I am extremely grateful for.

What I wish was different

I wish I worked a little less as oddly as that sounds. I began to stress a lot about my performance at work which then allowed me to get distracted from other things such as my family relationships and things I should've been focusing on for me to succeed in the upcoming school semester.

Advice

A piece of advise that I would give is to not let a summer job consume your life. If you allow it to become a focal point in your present state of circumstances it will soon begin to become overwhelming and a distraction rather than a benefit.

May - August 2019 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

I enjoyed the coworkers and their friendliness. It was nice getting the experience of working Grill at a professional business. It made me realize that working at chain food restaurants is much harder than it looks.

What I wish was different

I wish that I would have gotten at least 1 break during ever shift.

Advice

I would tell someone that the work environment is great, but the job is forever demanding. You will be moving at all times and customers can be a pain sometimes. Overall, a good summer job if you're looking to expand your experience and time management.

Restaurant Team Member: Crew

May - August 2019 • Ashburn, VA

What I liked

My coworkers were great and we got a complementary meal with each shift, which allowed me to taste all of the different options at Chipotle.

What I wish was different

I wish I had known what my shift would be further in advance. As it turned out my manager would only post the next week's shift at the end of the preceding week.

Advice

Make a concerted effort to do the best you can at a demanding job. It's not always fun, and can be frantic and stressful, but it's a great way to test your patience and work ethic. Don't be afraid to get to know your coworkers, because you're all in it together and if you get along well it makes teamwork more efficient and enjoyable.
