Pros

Working at one of the busier Chipotle's in the area has been very very stressful. It's jam packed all the time and sometimes you don't know how you put up with it. At the same time I've really felt like I've gotten some serious work experience here. There are days where I feel like, Hey I've tackled a day at Chipotle, there's nothing I can't do. And I have very good relationships with most of my crew mates and management.

Cons

The high volume can really get to you sometimes. There are days where the line just won't go down no matter what you do, ELMA or no ELMA. There are of course some sour grapes in the mix coworker-wise that make the work a little bit tougher. And there is a certain level of favoritism in terms of working your way up that magical Chipotle chain.

Pros

Free food on breaks. Work around your schedule.

Cons

Unprofessional. Managers have no work ethic. Fire without warning. Don't tell you you're getting fired, just take you off of the schedule.

Pros

You learn how important is make others around you better, also you learn how to judge better who is or not a "to performer". If you work hard you will get promoted quickly.

Cons

How to make others better, faster and inspire them at the same time without make them feel not good at what they are doing. Try to keep the standard and follow how every crew member develop in the right way. And the worse is find good people to work with.
