Pros

Professional work environment. Nice work truck. Tools you need, cell phone, laptop. Very easy job but mostly driving to locations. KPIs are easily met. Yearly reviews are mostly self done, easy but not meaningful. Yearly bonuses are mostly based on company performance. Good place starting out as a new or younger employee. Not really meant for a family person because work life balance is off norms. Three weeks vacation starting off is great.

Cons

Work schedule very early. Getting up at 2:30 am regularly. Early start times means you go to bed at 6:30pm at night. Too many stores assigned to you spread out over half of the state makes it difficult to really make a great impact at each location. Turnover is outrageous so you are always training the same ten things every visit. Outdated billing systems and inventory tracking causes much duplication and mostly on the honor system. Takes way too much time just documenting your work. Phone calls and emails, work orders come in at all hours of the day and night. Your phone is constantly ringing or beeping. No kidding.

Pros

Somewhat easy to pick up short term work, and depending on the location co-workers can be cool. The free meals are also pretty good, and there is a significant employee discount usually.

Cons

Extremely inconsistent experience between stores. One store I worked at had a really chill manager, while other ones would have management that made the experience absolutely miserable. I had one store that "unofficially" hired me for 18 hours one week and then refused to pay me for those hours, so I guess make absolute sure that all of your hours are recorded in their system. Because portions aren't standardized very well, a significant amount of customers will be angry at you if you don't give enough food, or if you give too much food your manager will yell at you. The fact that the food is made in front of the customer leads to significantly more negative customer interactions. If you do work at a Chipotle, make absolute sure it is one that isn't very busy, as it can be the difference between a relatively chill job and a stressful nightmare.
