Pros

The people I've worked with, the pay was higher than my city's minimum wage.

Cons

Chipotle works their employees like a dog. They make sure they get every single penny you're working for out of you & you go home with nothing but sore muscles. I think the pay isn't worth what you have to do to work there. Which is why I found a better job that appreciated me and decided to pay me higher because I was a "great employee w/ plenty of experience"

Pros

Good food, Room for Advancement , Generally good people , it can be a good experience if the situation is right. , Decent pay

Cons

Crazy high standards , They expect everything to be done so quickly , which is fine , but the working conditions are inconsistent , its easy to find a flow with something then come in the next day, have to do it a completely different way and still be expected to get the same times you've been getting. They also DON'T hesitate to fire people. There is a VERY high turnover, At LEAST 1-2 people get fired each month, some for just being slower than other people. When people get fired the remaining crew is expected to pick up the slack meaning youll be working doubles , closing the store then opening the very next morning. IF your willing to make chipotle your life ,you'll be fine , anyone else STAY AWAY!!!

Flexible schedule, free food, lots of hours, some fun people.

Cons

Professional dish washer all by hand, paid little to no money, empty promises, under staffed most busy days, lack of communication between management, and tons of work.
