Pros

Chipotle promotes from within! They have a great tools for developing people into management and the company takes really good care of their employees! We take pride in helping local farmers, having high standards and caring for our food..for the benefit of our future, the customers.

Cons

The only thing i could think of is that either, you could be under staffed or everyone may not pull their own weight..this could make your days over worked, stressful or just not a positive shift.

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.
