Pros

Good company to work for a few years. Promote from within is a great way to run a company.

Cons

After your 1st few years, you are disposed because you make too much money and have too many benefits. There is a 10 year sabbatical that you will never get because they will fire you before you make it to 10 years or after you make it to 10 years and take the time off, they fire you when you get back and then you have to repay the time you just had off. Managers promote and demote at will. So promotions from within don't work if you don't make it in the new position. Lots of sink-r-swim promotes.

Pros

Chipotle tries to have team buliding events within departments and with all departments overall.

Cons

Much of management is comprised of friends so it's hard when a manager is not doing an effective job because it is not addressed since they are in a circle of friends.

Pros

Chipotle is a very passionate company Great health benefits Great skill training Pay scale was wonderful Food quality is top notch.

Cons

Like any restaurant chain, some managers are amazing, and some are truly awful. Benefits for members of management are slowly being whittled away at all levels, such as biannual bonuses. The expectations of the management are not lowered, thus creating the typical "Why should I work this hard when I get nothing in return?" mentality. Given the high expectations on members on management, I feel that mentality completely acceptable.
