Pros

Chipotle is a good place to work if you want to gain restaurant experience and if you want to go into restaurant management, Chipotle has a "hire from within policy". Also, You'll never go hungry working at Chipotle. Your meals after you work a shift are free and your meals any other time are 50 percent off. They're also pretty flexible with the scheduling.

Cons

Some of the Managers are really awful people to work with. And sometimes they have too many managers on duty at the same time which makes things very confusing because each manager has "their way" of doing things and you end up having 3 different managers giving 3 different sets of instructions for the same thing. The training needs major help. Chipotle's idea of training is making you watch a 5 minuted video of a "re-enactment of how service is suppose to run. However, their re-enactment does not include anything that really happens during the course of the day, so it's very unrealistic. Then they put you in a real situation and expect you to handle it. Also, if a Manager has a disagreement with you, they will cut your hours.

Pros

Free Lunch, Paid lunch break, day is over quickly.

Cons

LOW pay for HARD work, Treated like a robot, cruel expectations with no reward. Horrible health benefits, managers try to keep their humanity, but lose it along the way as required by the company. NO TRAINING whatsoever, Expected to learn how to perform duties without any guidance. I had to leave because of a work injury, I have never hurt myself at work ever in my life. I refuse to work for a company that preaches equality&doing what's right when they treat their employees terribly. I was all for the company's motto, but behind closed doors, they are the opposite towards their hardworking employees.
