Pros

-Very friendly and cool coworkers. -Free food during lunch break, 50% off while not working. -Room for growth. -Helpful coworkers. -Clean and, for the most part, organized work environment.

Cons

-Random work hours. (Ex: One day you'll work 4 hours, rest of the week off, then you come back to a 8+ hour shift) -You are always hustling, working as hard and as fast as you can. -Lack of work place communication. -Unbalanced work loads. I feel like all positions should have the same amount of work, but some positions are worked 10 times as hard as others and yet still recieve equal pay!

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.
