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

Free food for breaks, young team, not many crazy customers compared to other fast food restaurant chains

Cons

Always short-staffed at night and double the work from the mornings, the manager has to close multiple positions alone, with insufficient and poor training because God forbid you clock in to learn how to work best.
