Pros

Chipotle is honestly one of the best places to work. The amount of experience gained by working here is tremendous. It is a tough job but if you can handle it, you can handle (literally) ANY job out there. -There are tons of opportunities. -At the end of your shift, or during your break, you are given a free meal. -Teaches you how to handle your time excellently.

Cons

-Extremely busy. Staying on line for 8 hours with a never ending line can and will drive you insane. -30 minute breaks are rare, due to the restaurant being so busy. -Very, Very Tiring.

Pros

Free meal . that's about it.

Cons

Management expects your whole life to be chipotle.they say you get a paid break but never give you one.you never get out when scheduled to leave . always at least 2 hours after your shift is supposed to end. Ive been told to work off the clock several times. Everything is rush rush .even if theresno customers in store. Work harder, faster, etc.very clicky . They expect you to be bff w every one. They also want u to have a phony permanent smile glued to your face at all times.they put the workload of 3 people all on 1 person and are constantly micromanaging, p,pushing you to work faster, and have unrealistic expectations. They say it's a privelage to work there.lol.its not worth it for what little money they pay.

Pros

Free meals, advancement opportunities, will hire ANYONE

Cons

My "manager" was a 20 year old punk who regularly threatened our jobs and was involved in a number of illegal activities. I was a student just trying to get by, and I feel Chipotle completely took advantage of my desperation to work my way through college. I was treated very unfairly. For example, after taking a single day off due to medical emergency, I was told my job was on the line because I had become "unreliable". We were also forced to pass a terrible case of the flu around the restaurant for several weeks or risk being fired ( as several employees were for refusing to come in with the flu). I was also paid significantly less than my coworkers for precisely the same jobs. I discovered at the end of my time there that I earned at least $2 less hourly than my coworkers who had been there for half the time I had.
