Pros

The company culture is actually fairly good. The food is gmo free and as fresh as you would hope it would be, I had a bad experience because of management, not because of the company. Chipotle is still my favorite restaurant, I eat there almost every day.

Cons

The management was terrible. I was constantly in trouble for not cutting vegetables fast enough. My manager actually pulled me into the office at one point to tell me she wasn't going to fire me, but I should strongly consider quitting. I found out a year later that her and her boyfriend, who was a manager there as well, were each caught separately stealing from the cash registers. Quality hires Chipotle.

Pros

Free Chipotle on breaks (assuming you get to take a break) 50% off at home store only Mostly nice co-workers Paid breaks

Cons

The speed required to work here is inhuman. It will never be fast enough. They require certain cut sizes combined with super-human speed. Everyone runs around like chickens with their heads cut off. Always afraid of screaming managers. They will throw away an entire hotel pans of product to prove a point if your sizes are not perfect. They encourage people working off the clock. Service and Kitchen Managers are constantly coming in on their day off to work off the clock. I was trained on knife safety after 3 days of working with a knife. With little to no direction prior. You get a 30 minute break that you do not clock out for and most breaks lasted only between 15-20 mins with no proof of it happening so there was no way to challenge it.

Pros

Free Meals when working. 50% off when you're not working Some of the co-workers become friends

Cons

young people running the company too many little hierarchies within lower management the friend's of the managers will get the promotions sometimes when there is an open manager spot, the GM will pull from a different store instead of within
