Pros

Decent pay, upbeat working environment, free meals when clocked in/ 50% off on your days off, the day can fly by, and managers are flexible with your scheduling

Cons

Training has gone downhill/ I started with the company 2 years ago and each generation of new hires has gotten progressively worse training, managers don't know how to communicate (I've worked in 2 locations and this has been true of both), managers play favorites (also true of both locations)

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.
