Pros

Opportunities are great and benefits are unbeatable. Everyone is empowered to make their path and experiences in the company the way they want it to be as long as it is in line with their policies.

Cons

In the operations side, it is a lot of hard work for little money, from crew to management. But they've built such a unique culture in many stores that many people work hard for anyways because they care about the people around them. It is a team environment that works for each other. Changes are happening in the company to where they are shifting focus on "business culture" because of the company stock and because of rapid expansion in which is difficult to keep up with the need of managers for stores that will meet their continually evolving high standards. I love the Chipotle and everything they stand for and I believe the opportunities are worth work if your the right person who can achieve it. Its a big company and you can expect politics to play a huge role in upper management, politics is destroying the passion that this company is trying to inspire.

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.
