Pros
Free food, 50% off on days off Starts off nice at first... learn some prep prep some foods if you like following recipes salsa is the station to be
Cons
unrealistic expectations, very hostile like environment, must work like a chipotle robot to move on it's so weird they pride themselves in being different but it's such a scary cult like difference it all begins from the moment you are interviewed, you MUST have the 13 characteristics in order to get hired. They throw you into a station either salsa, tortilla, prep or grill. If you have no experience and get thrown into grill, good luck because they'll push you like crazy and if they don't like it they'll fire you even within days. Didn't happen to me but I saw former coworkers leave like that, specially when your store wants to be restaurateur. It was horrible how much they pushed you, When closing they expected a lot of things done by the time you were scheduled off and wanted you off to save labor without necessarily telling you, they expected you to still stay off the clock to finish. I even brought this to the attention of the general manager but it would still go on. I felt bad for her cuz in the whole process of this restaurateur she just looked like the life was sucked out of her and i don't know what this company fed her but honestly she would be off at another job, I guess the salary, bonus, company car and chipotle stock was worth the stress... Chipotle lost its originality. Remember when they advertised having huge burritos, yeah that's not true anymore because their portions are so tiny now. If you gave someone a huge burrito they would get mad at you thinking you over portioned and got very nickel and dime about things even wanting to charge 80 cents per salsa side Chipotle is also very proud in by this I mean they literally think no other food service is competition to them cuz they're just too good and the only competition going on is each chipotle store to another. They want you to memeorize definitions, literally and when a big corporate person comes up they want you to act like they're god its ridiculous... and no im not being extreme. Trust me. That's why about 8 of us quit in a matter of a month. Says alot doesnt it?
