Pros

Free Food and Flexible work schedule that's it!!!!!

Cons

well lets see I worked there close to a year and started on prep which most do or line. if you start on line your making free money because all you do is stand there and scoop food and flip pans for 8 hours, prep your constantly cleaning, cooking with grill for rush, cutting vegtables which really hurts your hand at the end of the day way more work than the 9 dollars an hour. I got moved to grill which is technically a higher position but of course chipotles cheap $$$ offers no compensation for the extra work of lift cooking and burning yourself and you will burn yourself because the one I was at is not osha certified and breaking your back lifting 60 pound rice pots over your chest...chipotle is so fake its comical they tell you $$$$ about being a top performer which means do everybodies job for them without using common sence and using chipotle methods..... You have to follow every rule to the T or youll get $$$$$ out and don't hope to get a rais cause that aint gonna happen. my coworkers were the only reason I stayed there so long. $$$$$$ chipotle and there greedy $$$ find out for yourself I gross and terriable this place is. I refuse to return there and will never buy food from them. Ps after a month youll start packing your own lunch cause everything you eat there taste the same from burrito to tacos to salad lol Yea putting a little bit of square cut lettuce at the bottom of a bowl with all the ingrediants that make up a burrito including sourcream and cheese doesn't make it a $$$$$$$ salad makes fat people feel better about themselves

Pros

Free food for breaks, young team, not many crazy customers compared to other fast food restaurant chains

Cons

Always short-staffed at night and double the work from the mornings, the manager has to close multiple positions alone, with insufficient and poor training because God forbid you clock in to learn how to work best.
