Pros

Initially getting hired at chipotle I made a dollar over minimum wage. Free meal during your shift. Easy to learn. Allowed overtime Good ethical food,

Cons

Never received a raise after initial quarter. Dealt with Racism constantly, customers are rude, non-english speaking employees assume other people can't hear/understand them. GM was relocated and the SM did a poor job keeping things under control. Stressful, when I was cashier I was told I should be able to move over 100 sales per hour. That's less than a minute with each person. manager back up was always late when a customer was upset, then I was blamed for following the rules (eg. explaining to the customer meat costs extra). Only received one shirt when hired. Inflexible hours. Managers took personal issues out on staff, favoritism, poor leadership, lack of communication, lack of management training.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
