Pros

-Free food on days you work -At my location, the vast majority of the customers are friendly and understanding.

Cons

Hmm where to begin. I had problems with Chipotle BEFORE I was even hired. -I went to an open interview with the kitchen manager and it went very well and we seemed to get along. -I haven't heard anything in a week and I called back to follow up and they told me that she didn't even say anything to any of the managers, like nothing had ever happened. But, they gave me a second interview and I was hired. Then, they were gonna send me the paper work via e-mail. -But, instead of a "you're hired" e-mail, I got an e-mail saying that I wasn't selected for employment. Which is BS when I was told that I was hired and discussed hours (which initially full time), pay, and that I was told that I am able to quit my other current job whenever. -So, I had to fight with the kitchen managers and service managers for 4 days straight, just giving me BS answers until I finally got contact with my GM and finally fixed the issue. They told me that they didn't know what and why it happened. -My first week was alright, pretty hectic and heavy duty work, but I was happy that I was finally getting the hours I wanted for so long and having much better pay than min wage (in Texas mind you). But then after the first 3 days, everything went downhill waayyy to quickly. -"Go faster" "You need to hurry up" "You're holding up the line" "You're going too slow" "She/he told me to tell you to go faster". I hear that crap. every. single. day. And it drives you crazy when you JUST started and you KNOW that you are doing your job right by going quickly, but working diligently and providing good customer service. -My hours DRAMATICALLY declined. My first week: 38 hours. Then, 25 hours. 15 hours. and then less 10 hours. Which is miserable when you basically got lied to during your interview and now you can't supply and support your family because of the crappy hours. -I reached out to my GM about this kind of situation. Twice already. With the hours, he told me that he had to share the hours with everybody and he would give me more hours the next week. BS. I got even less hours. -I told him of how people were harassing me everyday with this hurry up bs and other disrespectful things and how it's putting in negative energy to me. He told me just to just do my best. It was a little bit sincere, but nothing was fixed and sorted out and the harassment and "bullying" and the disrespect throughout all of my co-workers keeps on happening and it progressively gets worse everyday. -And all of this has happened in exactly one month, which is horrible that everything had happened to fast. -As a side note though, I am pretty sure I am forgetting some other small details as well that has happened to me from my other rude co-workers. So, I am the process of finding somewhere else where they can, simply, treat me with the right respect that I deserve. And Chipotle will never be listed in my past experiences ever.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
