Pros

The company has an amazing vision. They have done a great job of connecting the vision into operations which helps everyone go after the same goal. It's something that isn't easy to do, but Chipotle did a great job getting everyone to go after this one goal. The food is also delicious. Free food can't be beat.

Cons

The vision is great, but once Chipotle was hit with the food safety outbreak, the vision was pushed to the side. Many people left because it wasn't about the people anymore. To make matters worse, the CEOs and upper management had no idea what they were doing. They did not know how to fix the problem yet expected everyone else to follow everything they rolled out. It was complete chaos and no end in sight.

Terrible work experience

Pros

Only "pro" I can think of is free food, ONLY if you work a 6 hour shift or more. Which hardly happens.

Cons

Terrible scheduling- told them I had a commitment at 8:30 they would schedule me until 8 but wouldn't let me leave until there were no customers, everything was stocked, and everything was perfect. The pressure to maintain the "culture" and keep the line clean is insane. Employees I worked with who had been there a long time got fired for not "promoting the culture". AKA, they got fired for no reason. It's incredibly stressful with little breaks. Do NOT recommend.
