Chipotle is a fast paced job. It can be very demanding and overwhelming at times but also very rewarding. - Crew Member Chipotle Employee Review

Pros

The crew is very close-knit! 99% of your crew will be very friendly and hardworking. They love for everyone to be close and encourage you to be friends. Also, Chipotle is all about constructive criticism. You will have people constantly telling you the proper way to do things, especially when you first start.

Cons

Chipotle is very DEMANDING. It has to be your life. they will expect you to be there whenever they need you, day or night! It is not a job, it is a lifestyle!

Pros

Somewhat easy to pick up short term work, and depending on the location co-workers can be cool. The free meals are also pretty good, and there is a significant employee discount usually.

Cons

Extremely inconsistent experience between stores. One store I worked at had a really chill manager, while other ones would have management that made the experience absolutely miserable. I had one store that "unofficially" hired me for 18 hours one week and then refused to pay me for those hours, so I guess make absolute sure that all of your hours are recorded in their system. Because portions aren't standardized very well, a significant amount of customers will be angry at you if you don't give enough food, or if you give too much food your manager will yell at you. The fact that the food is made in front of the customer leads to significantly more negative customer interactions. If you do work at a Chipotle, make absolute sure it is one that isn't very busy, as it can be the difference between a relatively chill job and a stressful nightmare.
