Pros

-Decent starting pay -Opportunity to move up in the company -Will work with you schedule and give you the hours you want -Free meal each shift/50% off when not on the clock -Paid breaks -Paid sick days -Free employee uniforms

Cons

I really enjoy working at Chipotle, but lately I've felt things are unfair and not worth the hardship. To keep it brief, its a lot of work and those who learn multiple positions don't get paid more. The fact that I can work any position in the restaurant and get paid the same as a new hire is completely unfair. Yes there are opportunities to advance with the company but the pay grade isn't that great (only a dollar higher) and it doesn't justify how much harder you'll be working.

Pros

Free food for breaks, young team, not many crazy customers compared to other fast food restaurant chains

Cons

Always short-staffed at night and double the work from the mornings, the manager has to close multiple positions alone, with insufficient and poor training because God forbid you clock in to learn how to work best.
