Pros

High quality food, fresh, great place to take pride in doing your job well.....just don't expect anyone else to take notice or give you praise.

Cons

Big target on your back if you are female and a good leader (at least in my market.) Steve and Monty are true leaders and amazing businessmen. Broke my heart to leave, but their vision was not very apparent in this region. We were encouraged to speak up and be proactive, and then punished for doing so. I still have hope that other regions have maintained the culture, but I'm not so sure that it is possible.

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.
