Average Salary for Qdoba Mexican Grill Employees

Pros: Not a drive thru and not as much heavy equipment

Cons: It's food service...

Pros: The few people I know that have stuck around in leadership positions are great mentors, good bosses, and fantastic people. It's really a shame that so many great people have left the company.

Cons: When they say 'flexible schedule' it means they'll flex you until you lose your elasticity and break. I worked at Qdoba for a total of over three years. I 'completed' the MIT program and went on to manage a 1.5M/year location. I never received a pay increase or a title promotion. With what they were paying me, they could have just kept me at the location where I had been previously where I wasn't unhappy. After my 'promotion' I was still making only 11.50/hour and expected to work 50 to 65 hours a week, sometimes with only one other person on my shift. The expectations are too high and compensation is too low. I'm willing to work hours like that, but having to balance managing the business (P&L, scheduling, ordering, inventory, recap, team development, training, hiring, disciplinary, etc.) and doing the work of two to three other employees on top of my duties as the acting GM is too much to ask of someone making four dollars an hour over minimum wage.
