Pros

Quality of the food, the philosophy of the company, paid break, free meal.

Cons

Promises were not delivered. At my very first interview, I told the general manager that I can not work on a certain day of the week for a serious reason (which I will not specify here in case they are reading this), they were fine with it. At my second interview, when I was asked about my availability, I repeated my request again. Since I was hired, I have been scheduled on the exact day that I requested to be off! Every single week! I was promised to work at a specific position to move up in the chain. I was trained for it. Then when I started working, I was put at a totally different position with no groom to growth. Some of my coworkers are very nice. Unfortunately, some are on the extreme of meanness. It's like high school experience again. People can be very catty, pick on you based on your vulnerabilities and make you feel bad and embarrassed in front of everybody. Customers can be rude and treat you as if you are an illegal illiterate immigrant. I have a four year degree. I work very hard and I am even faster than the people who have been there longer than me in some areas. However, i don't feel appreciated. Everybody can step on me there based on their moods. Managers would forget that the other day you were willing to work non stop with no break for them. The only reason I am still working at Chipotle is because I don't want to be a lazy person and depend on someone else to feed me. I am applying for jobs and I will quit when I get a new job. I don't want to be biased. I believe there are great Chipotle stores out there to work for. Just not my store.

Pros

Discounts on food and staff are friendly

Cons

Management does not really care. Sits in office and rarely helps. This does depend on the manager which affects the staff. Imagine working at minimum effort is the acceptable norm and a upper manager comes in complaining that things are wrong and does not fit standard
