Pros

Constant GROWTH and Challenges as the forefront of the food industry in terms of food safety and quality there are always new and innovative policies each year. Management will support you, but keep in mind they have bosses as well demanding results. Food is free and healthy depending how you eat You can build and control the culture! REAL Corporate isn't down your neck as long as you run it how it is supposed to be run and provide results.

Cons

Turnover can be a problem with wages that can slightly less than competitive in area. On city can have an average wage higher than the next city nearby but both pay the same. Your time/Hours can be a little inconsistent (assume you will be working more) which is excellent but at times you may have life things to deal with, but you average 10hrs a day

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.
