Qdoba Mexican Grill Employee Reviews for Manager

"Watch your back if you decide to work here."

What do you like about working at Qdoba Mexican Grill?

"Training, empowering and supporting the hourly employees is the best part. Great cultural interaction w/ people from all over Latin America."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Do your homework and interview some of the existing managers in diff. stores. This may be a good stepping-stone job to get your foot in the door, get a few years of experience, and then go work for a real restaurant company. My advice - work for Chipotle or even start with Applebee's (if you want full service) if you want to be trained properly with good systems and good people."

What don't you like about working at Qdoba Mexican Grill?

"In the past, local mgt team was scary. They had people in Dist. Mgr positions who didn't know how to run stores and a Dir of Ops who had no prior restaurant experience and was evil. Hopefully, all of that has changed. They're just a Chipotle ripp-off that still has problems executing so many menu items."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Do it simple and do it right, everytime. Quit focusing on the bottom line and look at the brand and what products support it for long run success. Oh, you already tried that, didn't you"
