Pros

°Free food on all workdays. °50% off food on days off at your "home store". °Management did a decent job at working around my schedule. °Biweekly pay schedule

Cons

°Chronically understaffed. °Food left over from the day before (specifically chips, crunchy tacos, and meat) are put out the following day. Stale chips ARE put out the next day. °Rude customers. °Low pay for the amount of work you are doing. °Coworkers can be rude and make for a hostile working environment. °Management does not care about complaints from angry customers. Nor do they care about complaints from employees regarding other employees. At least at my store they did not. °Training at our store for brand new hires is watching a series of short videos, for me, training was very hands off. I had to learn everything after doing it all wrong. I was trained on chips and tacos. That is it.

Pros

Somewhat easy to pick up short term work, and depending on the location co-workers can be cool. The free meals are also pretty good, and there is a significant employee discount usually.

Cons

Extremely inconsistent experience between stores. One store I worked at had a really chill manager, while other ones would have management that made the experience absolutely miserable. I had one store that "unofficially" hired me for 18 hours one week and then refused to pay me for those hours, so I guess make absolute sure that all of your hours are recorded in their system. Because portions aren't standardized very well, a significant amount of customers will be angry at you if you don't give enough food, or if you give too much food your manager will yell at you. The fact that the food is made in front of the customer leads to significantly more negative customer interactions. If you do work at a Chipotle, make absolute sure it is one that isn't very busy, as it can be the difference between a relatively chill job and a stressful nightmare.
