      I worked at Chipotle full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      - you get always paid the right amount, even when you work overtime - they respect break time and encourage you to take it - free meals on shift

      Cons

      - very corporate culture - too much work for little money - too many "motivational" talks - a bit patronising

      I worked at Chipotle part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Very good benefits offered. Quality ingredients. Great company values. A free meal and paid breaks are very useful and appreciated.

      Cons

      Repetitive cutting motions as a grill cook tends to cause wrist and finger pain after long hours of work if you work at a busy restaurant. The problem is exacerbated if there are not any sharp knifes available.

      Advice to Management

      Figure out a way to ensure there is always a supply of sharp knifes to ensure cutting meat and cilantro is easier on the grill cook's wrist and fingers.

      I worked at Chipotle full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      I worked at a Chipotle in downtown San Francisco and their policy of paying an extra dollar above minimum wage, free meals on shift, plus their benefits for students were all really positive for me. I felt my time was respected and it was a good job to have while going through school.

      Cons

      It was super busy all the time, and that added with the demands of prep for so many costumers per day led to a high turnover rate. It's definitely not for everyone, but for those who enjoy working around food and talking to customers or those who thrive in a fast paced environment, this is for you.

      I have been working at Chipotle part-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Flexible Schedule, Good Hours, Decent Pay for Fast Food, Free Meal per Shift, Half Off Meal when Not Working, Sick Time, Vacation Time, Bonuses Possible

      Cons

      Repetitive Work, Not all workers carry their share of work load.

      Advice to Management

      More frequent employee reviews, with smaller raises available. There's a lot to do and a lot to learn at Chipotle, and I think quarterly meetings could help improve employee moral and help create harder working, motivated employees.

      I worked at Chipotle part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Free meal with every shift

      Cons

      Highly stressful, management is very demanding, low pay for the amount of work you have to do.

      Advice to Management

      Stop putting so much pressure on people you're only paying $9 an hour.
