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!!!

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
