Pros
Company as a whole does some good things in the world - supporting sustainable agriculture ect. Good food. If you get a job as a crew member and your manager is good then the job can be fun.
Cons
If you get in as crew in a restaurant with a bad manager or you get involved in a position above crew level and have to deal with some of the upper management your life will be hell. Paranoid upper management will throw people under the bus to save their own skin. Don't be surprised if you work hard for many years, receive a lot of praise and then, suddenly, out of the blue, find yourself getting fired. This company as a whole has no loyalty to it's employees, even the ones that they claim are their highest performers. Have a back up plan if you work for them. Chipotle will sell you on a lot of high ideals but very few of the people in charge seem to actually understand those ideals. Their ideas of "high performance" are being twisted to require people to become workaholics and paranoid. The company begins to feel very cult like after awhile and people who question upper management are eliminated, quickly. While the Company does do some good things in the world there are other ways to support those good causes then to risk your personal piece of mind and career by working for them.
