Pros

I had a fun time training and learning the ropes, as soon as rush hour hits around lunch and dinner times it is just go go go. I really like how they promote from within because everyone that is leading everything knows the struggles of even the beginning lineman.

Cons

Bad attitude coworkers, some people don't want to be here or are only here to make ends meet. This is not the right attitude for hiring! You are spending so much time every day around your coworkers, why would you want to be in a toxic work environment.

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.
