Pros

Opportunity to learn how to handle high volumes of customers and to further customer service skills.

Cons

Feeling overworked with rare opportunities for bathroom breaks. Time moves slowly on slow days, and you experience back pain after a while of serving food. You automatically get clocked out at 12:30am but may be expected to stay if not finished closing. Promotion relies on likability rather than effectiveness as a worker.

Pros

Free meals, advancement opportunities, will hire ANYONE

Cons

My "manager" was a 20 year old punk who regularly threatened our jobs and was involved in a number of illegal activities. I was a student just trying to get by, and I feel Chipotle completely took advantage of my desperation to work my way through college. I was treated very unfairly. For example, after taking a single day off due to medical emergency, I was told my job was on the line because I had become "unreliable". We were also forced to pass a terrible case of the flu around the restaurant for several weeks or risk being fired ( as several employees were for refusing to come in with the flu). I was also paid significantly less than my coworkers for precisely the same jobs. I discovered at the end of my time there that I earned at least $2 less hourly than my coworkers who had been there for half the time I had.
