I enjoyed the flexibility and also the tuition reimbursement
What I wish was different
They could do a lot better with acknowledging the fact that chipotle is not for life and students are only doing this for financial reasons and not trying to make a career out of chipotle

I love working at Chipotle. I've been there for almost 3 years and they are always accommodating with my school schedule. I love my crew and management.
What I wish was different
I work in the Valley Plaza location and sometimes we do get customers who are really rude and sometimes try to start problems with the crew over ridiculous things. I wish the company would back up their employees more.

Don't take anything personal.

What I liked
The work environment is very friendly and fast-paced, allowing me to gain experience in the team environment.
What I wish was different
Recognition from supervisors. I feel great when I'm being told that I'm doing a good job. However, I didn't hear that too often this past summer. I received more compliments from customers than I did my managers.
Advice
It's tough at first adjusting to the fast-paced, High demand work environment, but once you get the hang of it, it's a really beneficial experience that could go a long way in my future career.

The management could have been more professional and efficient. The lack of communication to employers and inability to maintain rules made work unappealing.

What I liked
The different skills i develped being out in different situations. For example dealing with a complaint from a customer, the speed in which i worked, how efficiently i was able to get the job done and so forth.
What I wish was different
I wish it was at a different location closer to home, but still paid the same amount. It was a hastle trying to get to work on time because of the trains and buses.
Advice
I would say some jobs like this might seem pointless now because they’re just summer jobs, but actually pay attention to the things you learn because the skills you abstain with summer jobs you can take anywhere with you and be successful.
