Pros

The staff is all very friendly, the possible job advancements are unlimited. I know someone who started as a crew member and is now and IT person who travels around to stores and helps them.

Cons

Chipotle HAS to be your life or you won't last. This really is not cool all of the time. The things that you have to know, you have to know 2 different ways, and well pretty much as many ways as there are managers. You have to know the "Chipotle" way, your way, his way, her way, etc...

Pros

There are a few pros to working at Chipotle, including paid breaks, one free meal on the clock and 50% employee discount off the clock.

Cons

I'm not trying to bash the company in any way, but this was my personal list of cons working there for one month: - management lost my application - management could not set up my direct deposit - took management forever to get my employee ID number (needed to clock in, as well as to get your pay) - what little training I was provided was not sufficient - you are constantly being timed if you are doing prep - i feel i had biased reviews from managers on my timing (they kept telling me I wasn't working fast enough, when I was working just as fast as my fellow employees and was prepping alongside one of the managers and I was keeping pace with them) - I was told I was too slow working the line (where your put the food together for customers), yet in my section I had 6-8 customers' orders waiting on the next person's section to do their part so that I could have any room to take more orders. - the most hours I was scheduled in a week was 20, usually averaging 18ish. and my last week they had me scheduled 11 hours.
