Pros

Every Chipotle I've worked at has had a great management team and great coworkers. There is a lot of opportunity to get promoted fairly quickly if you're committed. For the type of job (customer service, food) it's been pretty good.

Cons

They have very high standards and expect more out of their workers than many other food chains. It's not overwhelming, but it can get tiring.

Pros

You eat for free. You start off at 8.00 instead of 7.25. There are some pretty cool workers.

Cons

Its too much work for 8.00 an hour. You go most of your days without breaks, theyre not required to give you breaks. All the management except maybe two are mexicans and cannot speak good english. They dont know how to talk to their employees. Theres a lot of double standards and favoritism. Theres a female manager that flirts her way out of everything. Ive never known a manager that opened a store 30 mins late and kept their position. The management is lazy, but has the nerve to tell their employees they are moving to slow. They help who they wanna help, or should i say the mexicans help the mexicans while everyone else is left to fend for themselves. When you go to the head management to let them know whats going on, they do absolutely nothing about it, then they wonder why they stores are goin to crap and they keep losing people. You also never get off on time. So dont ever plan anything for when you get off work because you will always have to cancel or delay. Even the customers say they work us like slaves. Im still employed here but thats because right now i have no choice, if i didnt have kids to provide for i would have been quit. Oh yea when you first start, they will trick you by being nice and so forth on your first day maybe week, but after that week is up, everything goes to crap
