Pros

Free shift meal and this is the best thing I have to say.

Cons

I applied at the deer field location. I assume because of my experience I was tricked into driving to a much further location under the guise of being manager of my own store. I was hesitant especially after the interview in which I was informed I would only be making $12 after seeing advertisements for $14+. Come to find out that is the MANAGER wage. I was told to show up on Saturday after agreeing to start on Monday and there was no one to train me on Saturday, so I had wasted my time and gas before the job even started which was not a good first impression as it showed me they had no communication among management. Well the work was standard, but it is nonstop. You don't get a moment to rest, except for your allotted 30 minute break. I was yelled at to be in two places at once. As soon as I did a directive I was being yelled at for not also doing another task across the store simultaneously. They pay me as 1 worker, but expect the output of 3. An irate customer came in and started a fight with an employee and threaten another customer to fight outside and the management did nothing but stare. If the man had not left himself I have no doubt we still would have served him. At the end of the day, I didn't make enough hourly to even order a bowl if I didn't have a discount. Garbage wage, garbage management, and to top it all off the a/c was nonfunctional, so I was drenched in sweat my entire shift. miserable working conditions for very little money.

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.
