Pros
Chipotle has high standards for food, and is willing to train people to be successful in the food industry. Some restaurants are so serious about it, they will only hire workers who say they want to open their own restaurant some day. Free shift meals help offset the low pay. Easy transfer process, once trained. Tuition reimbursement.
Cons
Chipotle is allotted around $1.50 to spread across the ENTIRE staff in bi-annual raises, meaning hourly workers receive a minimum of 5 extra cents per hour after six months of work, max 25 cents. The corporate structure encourages higher ups to send brutally tight expectations down to stores with no consideration for workers. Employees have historically sued for abusive working conditions and unethical time theft from the company itself.
