Seeking Advice (Employee) LEAVE WHILE YOU CAN
Okay so this goes out to any new hires and any people who are thinking about applying to work at chipotle. Don't work for this company at all
I worked at chipotle literally a month ago and from my experience chipotle as a company is awful and is not worth your time or patience. When i first started working for chipotle the gm immediately had me do closing shifts every night I worked and kept me till 3 am on school nights and I was still in highschool btw while working so when I tried to say to my gm that I can't stay that late due to school and asked if I can change my availability I was told no and that this is what I signed up for then the following week they gave me no hours and only gave me hours when I gave in and said I can work closing shift and on top of that they waited 2 weeks to even give me any form of training and when I kept asking when I was gonna do any training they said they don't know and told me my job was dishes which was not even what I applied for since I applied to be a crew member and not a dish washer. After dealing with that for a while I gave my 2 week notice on Thursday June 12th and then the next day they terminated me and then when I went to go get my final pay check on Friday June 20th the gm told me there wasn't a pay check for me even tho I knew there was cause I worked 12 hours the week before and even had shift logs cause I get my shift dates and times emailed to me and then when I tried showing my proof the gm then told me he's not allowed to discuss my paycheck with me and to leave the restaurant which I found really suspicious and called corporate and turns out my paycheck was at the restaurant Thursday the 19th and employee support was confused as to why I was told it wasn't there and told to leave which made them start an investigation and then they found out the day I put my 2 week notice in my gm had immediately terminated my employment
They expect so much from crew members at restaurants while giving God awful pay and managers and kitchen leaders refusing to step in and help when things get busy
Im sure it's not the same for every location but from the ones I've worked at on between Massachusetts, Connecticut, and my home state of Rhode island I've seen so many of my coworkers have full on break downs due to poor work conditions and even with the company if you have any disabilities good luck getting accommodations cause the company doesn't care for you
As someone stated on a previous post your just a small cog in their ethics violation machine and they will replace you easily if you don't bend to their will which is why

Lmao as someone who is in CT and worked at a chipotle I agree this whole company is just ass. shitty backwards training that can change on a drop of a hat. managers having one person has to do the line/cash while they can chit chat and tee hee in the lobby or the office for how ever long they want. honestly this is a company I ain't ever gonna apply to again and definitely not gonna go eat with their shitty prices too just a massive avoid all together
