Pros

The food is honestly good and comes from good sources. It has a good health, dental and vision insurance. There is a good opportunity of advancement within the company.

Cons

Your duties far exceeds a normal level. Not enough pay for how much work your doing. Their expectations of your work are too high. Uncomfortable shoes. Not enough break time; only got 10 minute break to eat after only 30 mins of working to then continue working another 7 hours with no break; unbalanced break time.

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.
