Must be nice to be a restaurateur! You are allowed to walk out twice and still have a job! Great example for your crew! - Anonymous employee Chipotle Employee Review

Pros

All the pros are now were in the past. sadly no pros.

Cons

Working here as a salary manager took over my life. I moved here to be closer to my family who now lives 2 minutes away from me and guess what I saw them more when I was living in another state. Sad! so much for your "people culture". Second, I have not work less than 65-70 hours a week since I got into this mess ( you guys pay me for 50 hours). Salary managers are expected to live in the store. My current store now is dealing with a restaurateur who cannot decide if he wants to stay with the company or not due to his "mental issue". This person has walked out twice and still has a job! He has been off for almost 3 months! Just abandoned his store and still has a job! People go through tough times, I get! All humans do! But my god, know when someone is taking advantage of the "restaurateur perks". For us who has to wait and work long hours everyday is just not fair anymore! I am tired and the crew he abandoned is tired! I am asked to worked more than what I am getting paid for! i am asked to work 6 days, sometimes more coz no one can help? I do what I can for the restaurant's needs but I will not kill myself working covering for this mess. And at the end of the day, I am still not doing enough! Do you have any idea what you dumped in my lap? Understaffed store with no managers? What do you think I am? A machine! way to set people for success!!! The crew wants to all walk out! Oh we have a salsa cooler that's broken that's been in the back dumpster, I was told I have to find a junk yard that will take it? that's not my job! is that a joke! Since when has it been a manager's job to dispose commercial equipment? Am I suppose to rent a truck and pay with my own money to have someone haul it away?

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
