          Pros

          Good benefits and good food.

          Cons

          Bad pay to management and crew for what they ask of you. The busy restaurants don't retain employees and the slow restaurants can't hire too many employees. Better companies are following along the Chipotle Model and will become better as Chipotle only cares about its numbers and not its people.
