Pros

Chipotle is a lively place to work. Flexible work schedules and understanding managers make coming to work every day a joy .

Cons

A lack of effective communication definitely exists, particularly in getting corporate messages appropriately through the regional level and on location.

Not bad at all

Pros

Ethically superior to other options in "fast food." I always enjoyed that our food had some moral thought behind it. Management is motivated to run a nice environment and they heavily promote from within.

Cons

You can't please everyone (customer-wise). Food will sometimes taste different depending on who made it. Like every workplace, employees who buddy up to the management will get special treatment, but if you keep your head down and your mouth shut, you'll get recognized eventually. I hate to say it, but we had some issues with the Hispanic males treatment of female co-workers both in management and otherwise.

Pros

fun place overall, great food and philosophy, manager outings/conferences, good crew, good training and development, diversity.

Cons

superior management not as involved with area managers as much as they should be, schedule demands are getting harder, many responsibilities for 1 GM at times and not enough time to be on the floor and do all the admin, sometimes promotions or new hires overlooked over others who can do better and have been there for years.
