Pros

Your fellow employees will make you feel like you have a family if you get the right location. Free food used to be a pro, but I believe new hires do not get this anymore.

Cons

Expected to do a crazy amount of work with few people. Even if you have enough people hired, they want you to get through the day with as little people scheduled as possible. Cooperate simply does not care, and normally management does not either. You're expected to work when sick despite handling food (I had this personally happen several times). I was stuck on the same job (frying) without getting to move up/learn prep for over a year of working there despite my trainer pushing for me to be given more opportunities. No longer get a free employee meal, and I never got my break. I always had to work my full 8 hours without a break, maybe I had a 3 minutes to eat something quickly. This was due to how busy we were and having to run on so few people :) Chipotle used to have values and culture I appreciated. They no longer do.

Pros

Discounts on food and staff are friendly

Cons

Management does not really care. Sits in office and rarely helps. This does depend on the manager which affects the staff. Imagine working at minimum effort is the acceptable norm and a upper manager comes in complaining that things are wrong and does not fit standard
