Pros

About the only good thing I can say about working at Chipotle was that it was close to my house and we get free lunch there. For lunch we could eat as much as we wanted, chips, guacamole, drinks, burrito, what ever we wanted for lunch, then it was back to work...

Cons

Worst job I've ever had. The manager had this computer program that told him exactly how long it should take to do anything, and when you went to work the manager would set it for how long the program said it should take you do to it and if you weren't done the second it went off, it was hell to pay. The manager would come over and yell shout and belittle you as incompetent and threaten to fire if you weren't done on time net time. Literally the worst job I've ever head, and I've had some bad jobs...

Pros

Lots of flexibility and good company benefits. Cool office space and good people. The company wants you to learn more and give you the opportunity to do so.

Cons

In the corporate space, very limited career growth opportunities. Current manager micromanages but not terribly. Company performance stinks and leadership does not want to take accountability.
