Pros

For Pros I can mention only free food

Cons

* team - as much as they want to come out friendly no one was friendly to me * training- I was trained by one of the crew members who was always late for morning shift and never explained me why and how things are done. * Break- I never was told how long will the break be. Sometimes it was 30 min sometimes 15 * Characteristics- I started to work 2 days before my grandmother passed away which I explained to manager and yet I was blamed that I am not happy enough. It's not possible to always have characteristics. The only thing that comes out of it is fake people.

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.
