Pros

If the benefits are even worth it.

Cons

This may have just been the Chipotle I’ve went for an interview for. I put my resume in for the job, for it to come back that I had gotten the job. Though, they did not contact me at all and I had to call them many of times to confirm for atleast a month to even get any information on it. After a month, I finally went in for an interview and got the confirmation to come in next week. The manager actually had the audacity to say, “Oh my gosh. It’s been a month? Why didn’t you say anything?”. You mean to tell me.. after calling multiple times throughout the month.. the employees telling me that the manager is not there and said they would let them know.. isn’t saying anything? Let me tell you, you are literally on your own out there also. No one trains you to do anything, because they just expect you to know how to run their business. Manager was very rude to me, always watching me and telling me that I was doing something wrong then not even telling me how to do it? I’ve worked at Panda Express before so I’ve had experience in Front line which is what I told them at the interview. They put me into the back which I was not used to and complained about everything I did. I would definitely not work here unless you know the manager yourself. It wasn’t even just me that was lost, everyone was. Absolutely terrible.

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.
