Pros

We get a daily 50% off and an employee every day we work, regardless of how long (or short) the shift was. The company sponsored health/vision/dental is great and the starting rate is slightly above minimum with raises distributed during quarterly reviews based on performance. There's a great amount of potential for upward mobility within the store and within the company. My coworkers are my second family. Everyone's opinion is valued, and everyone can have the opportunity to be involved with hiring and training.

Cons

Every store has its quirks, triumphs, and struggles. My store happens to have a great leader, cohesive management, and a well developed store culture. Some other stores, not so much. This is a job where your experience is entirely determined by the people around you and heavily reliant on the GM's skills. An ineffective GM causes unrest among the crew and the overall quality of the store suffers.

Pros

Great people Great pay Time goes by so fast and yea it's work and sometimes work is hard, but that's life. The managers really do care, I talk to my higher up managers and they treat you like a real person and actually care about your life and what you are doing. Get a job here and you won't regret it.

Cons

None! Work hard and you will move up fast they need leaders and there is soo much opportunity!!! I started at chipotle a year ago and I love it, the people you meet will be your friends for life.I'm about to get my second promotion to Service manager and I'm about to open a store as well in a few months, only after one year of working here.
