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

Good people. Good concept. What Chipotle Corp. stands for is amazing but it's just not getting all the way to the restaurants any more.

Cons

At the end of the day it's all about the bottom line. I personally have seen GM's including myself get little or no support then get fired for not doing a good job. I loved this company to my core, but I was still fired when my boss felt like I wasn't promoting managers when I didn't even have enough managers to run shifts how was I suppose to find time to train New managers in such a small period of time at a brand new store. But I tried to stay positive and was working 80 to 100 hours a week to get the training done and still got let go.
