Pros

Friends and many cooking skills learned through prepping and cooking. For this specific location was lucky enough to have crew that hung out outside of the job as we were all of the same age group and in different positions from crew to managers. Many advancements from pay raise to chipotle gifts from corporate. Our location had fun meetings about eco shore what can improve to communication and in depth how we should operate as a whole.

Cons

Sometimes sent to different chipotle locations as ours was regularly staffed. Sometimes the truck does not show up and it does affect customers' attitudes about not having ingredients. Even some are very passionate about not being able to eat the bowl without one ingredient. I think other locations are very low staffed due to management or not wanting to close at night.

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.
