      Poor job training

      Pros

      Nice hourly pay compared to other fast food restaurants. Tips are also provided. Nice benefits.

      Cons

      Poor job training. I never got to watch the safety videos until the last week of my employment. Horrible work hours. When they first hired me, I asked for 15 to 30 hours weekly. They over hired and ended up only giving me on average 8 hours weekly. They also let me out on average two hours before my actual shift was supposed to end. Once, I stayed an extra 4 hours just to complete the food safety video.

      "Loved my experience."

      Pros

      - You meet great people and truly learn how to be a part of a team - Of course, the free meals any time you're scheduled to work and the 50% discount at the store you work at on your off days (I promise, if you take advantage of this benefit as much as I did, you will hate the food after a while) - If you stay there for a year, you are eligible for tuition reimbursement, so if you are in school or have a desire to go back to school, this works for you - The pay is better than what you'd probably get at any other fast food business -They'll train you on anything that you desire, so you'll learn how the store operates; this advantage can also lead to quicker promotions (especially if you're a top performer) -The fact that there are plenty of advancement opportunities

      Cons

      -Strict on sick/absence policy (they will fire you if you don't follow protocol) -Various changes (this only happens if you work at a low-performing store) -Some managers play favorites (also depends on the store you work at and if you're a top/low performer; didn't happen at my main store, but when I went to visit other stores, I could see it, clearly) -Can be demanding at times if your store is understaffed; however, you'll quickly learn how to manage things after this happens a couple of times

      Great Culture

      Pros

      When Chipotle says "food with integrity", they mean it. I loved working for this company but I think part of the reason was that the management worked very hard to live the culture. I worked at a Restaurateur location and I feel that made the world of a difference. The environment allowed us all to be ourselves, create friendships, yet still work hard.

      Cons

      The prep or grill positions are by far the hardest. Whenever I did prep I was definitely worked. Our store sold quite a bit everyday so there were great amounts to prep on a daily basis. It would be nice if we had gotten some of the more advanced equipment to work with.
