It's turning out to be a busy week in burrito news. On Monday, Wendy's announced it's adding a breakfast burrito to its morning menu. Now Chipotle has announced that it is looking to hire 19,000 new employees ahead of Burrito Season, which is what the fast food chain calls its busiest time of the year, which runs from March to May.
Along with the announcement came news that the Chipotle is ramping up the benefits to attract as these new employees. Perks include access to a Visa card, access to credit through high-tech banking and even a student loan retirement match program, where the company will match up to 4% of eligible employee's salaries to their 401(k) if they make eligible student loan payments.
