Pros

I've worked at Chipotle for a year and made incredible relationships with my co workers. I've learned a lot on the job that will benefit me in my future.

Cons

Unfortunately the cons outweigh the pros. The pay is not really great, you will be doing stressful work where other establishments have the exact same job for a better pay rate. Area manager treats local GMs' like trash and that behavior trickles down to employees. You can tell that greed plays a factor to how things are ran. Upper management doesn't like any lower employee who is smarter than them and will immediately put them down the first sign they show any effective productivity that doesn't follow their vision. Especially when their so called vision is very flawed and can be proven to hurt the company than benefit it. There are many accounts of favortism especially when less effective employees gets promoted/rewarded over the more hard working and effective employee simply due to favortism.

Pros

Owners are serious about good healthy food.

Cons

Very young staff and managers who make big mistakes when communicating with staff. In addition to crazy low pay for expectations.

Pros

Free Food and Flexible work schedule that's it!!!!!

Cons

well lets see I worked there close to a year and started on prep which most do or line. if you start on line your making free money because all you do is stand there and scoop food and flip pans for 8 hours, prep your constantly cleaning, cooking with grill for rush, cutting vegtables which really hurts your hand at the end of the day way more work than the 9 dollars an hour. I got moved to grill which is technically a higher position but of course chipotles cheap $$$ offers no compensation for the extra work of lift cooking and burning yourself and you will burn yourself because the one I was at is not osha certified and breaking your back lifting 60 pound rice pots over your chest...chipotle is so fake its comical they tell you $$$$ about being a top performer which means do everybodies job for them without using common sence and using chipotle methods..... You have to follow every rule to the T or youll get $$$$$ out and don't hope to get a rais cause that aint gonna happen. my coworkers were the only reason I stayed there so long. $$$$$$ chipotle and there greedy $$$ find out for yourself I gross and terriable this place is. I refuse to return there and will never buy food from them. Ps after a month youll start packing your own lunch cause everything you eat there taste the same from burrito to tacos to salad lol Yea putting a little bit of square cut lettuce at the bottom of a bowl with all the ingrediants that make up a burrito including sourcream and cheese doesn't make it a $$$$$$$ salad makes fat people feel better about themselves
