Pros

Great vision and ideas for training. Strong staff support for training with a good push for the vision of the company. The business process is smart and BO work is fool proof. The systems set in place do so much of the analyzation for you.

Cons

Compensation not in line with competitors. Do not expect to get paid as much as other companies and still will work a 50 hour week if salary. The promotion from within can be tricky if you do not fit the stereotype they are looking for. If you disagree with anything or challenge an idea then do not expect to get promoted.

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.
