Okay, But not for everyone

Pros

Good food, Room for Advancement , Generally good people , it can be a good experience if the situation is right. , Decent pay

Cons

Crazy high standards , They expect everything to be done so quickly , which is fine , but the working conditions are inconsistent , its easy to find a flow with something then come in the next day, have to do it a completely different way and still be expected to get the same times you've been getting. They also DON'T hesitate to fire people. There is a VERY high turnover, At LEAST 1-2 people get fired each month, some for just being slower than other people. When people get fired the remaining crew is expected to pick up the slack meaning youll be working doubles , closing the store then opening the very next morning. IF your willing to make chipotle your life ,you'll be fine , anyone else STAY AWAY!!!

Pros

good starting pay paid breaks free meals on breaks 50% off meals when you aren't working extremely fast paced always something to do

Cons

HORRIBLE TRAINING! Literary on my first day, walked in and was put on the line, after about 7 minutes of watching someone do it, your on your own. Told me their was 2 days of training, but was proven wrong. No training what so ever. Managers are always nagging if your just standing around, however, if the right training was provided, and I actually knew what I was suppose to do, it wouldn't of been an issue. Was scheduled to cash the next day with no training on a cash register what so ever, and was told to try and watch the cashier do his job. How pathetic! Needs to train their employees more! Be aware, they will definately throw you on the front line on the busiest days and see if you can handle it with little training.
