Pros

Good food. Free meal. 50% off of other meals when not working. Cheap benefits. free t-shirt.

Cons

Fast paced environment. Large workload for near minimum wage. compensation was bellow average for duties required, basically no real training, walked in on first day and immediately placed on the line. burns, cuts and bruises to be expected everything must be done "the Chipotle" way messed up hours, even if you have for example 25 hours they will give you 5 days a week instead of 3 days. everything has to be done fast, on my first week, my breaks were within an hour of me walking in. So much cleaning and in unreasonable order. urge to walk-out daily. If you are not used to working in the food, then my recommendation is to place low amount of hours then from there you can move up. I did the opposite and nearly walked out on my first day.

Pros

Free food for breaks, young team, not many crazy customers compared to other fast food restaurant chains

Cons

Always short-staffed at night and double the work from the mornings, the manager has to close multiple positions alone, with insufficient and poor training because God forbid you clock in to learn how to work best.
