Pros

1 free meal the days you work and 50% off other meals

Cons

The work is very hard on your body, and the Chipotlw way is to treat your body like it were a machine, destroying your joints. You work on hard cement and the owners don't invest in floor mats, repetitive motions and injuries could be avoided by letting workers use 21st century tools, but "that is not the Chipotle way" - their way is to exploit employees and gaslight them into staying by saying (smart) people who quit just didn't have what it takes. It was the worst place I've ever worked, the physical and emotional abuse should not be a thing, but it is. Also, the lack of food standards and cleanliness, not to mention the unknown ingredients in their sauces and rub, will mess up your gut. If you choose to work there, don't eat their food mire than once or twice a month. It is not worth it! None of this is worth it, know your value and go somewhere else. Working at a grocery store or a restaurant is way better. Your future self will thank you!

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.
