Pros

I really enjoyed my time working in the Corporate offices. The environment was well designed and pleasing. The climate was open and social. In my experience the internal employees at all levels, from kitchen staff to c-level executives, were treated well and happy to be with the company. I have recommended this employer to several people since my employment ended with them! Some of whom currently work there. It really is a nice place to work.

Cons

It seemed that people were not open to suggestions for improving processes and some coworkers worked harder than others. That's true of most employers though- but that's really the only "con" I could think of here. It's a nice place to work as long as you are not hoping to advance upward.

Pros

Free Food Tuition Reimbursement Culinary Skills A good first job if you’re a teenager or need money for college.

Cons

Hours are kinda mid Online compensation includes health care and other benefits so real wages are skewed. Becoming a GM is really only really opportunity but it’s long hours and you’re working inside the store. Exhausting work conditions Not much room for skill development

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.
