Pros

team members were friendly, around the same age group (college kids).

Cons

On my first day there, with absolutely no job experience i was put as cashier. With the line going to the door, i did not know what to do, and a team member was helping me but i was slowing down the line.Customers looked angry. Even snatched there credit cards from my hand. I was stressed out that i could not sleep at night because i did not want to go back. They should train new employees instead of throwing them out there on the line or cashier. The next day i was expected to know what to do, being cashier, WHILE cleaning the diner, tables, and outside while it was busy. Also i was told i was going to be training NEW employees, It was the worst experience. To make it worse, its been over 4 months and chipotle has not paid me for the days that i did work.

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.
