Pros

Free meals, advancement opportunities, will hire ANYONE

Cons

My "manager" was a 20 year old punk who regularly threatened our jobs and was involved in a number of illegal activities. I was a student just trying to get by, and I feel Chipotle completely took advantage of my desperation to work my way through college. I was treated very unfairly. For example, after taking a single day off due to medical emergency, I was told my job was on the line because I had become "unreliable". We were also forced to pass a terrible case of the flu around the restaurant for several weeks or risk being fired ( as several employees were for refusing to come in with the flu). I was also paid significantly less than my coworkers for precisely the same jobs. I discovered at the end of my time there that I earned at least $2 less hourly than my coworkers who had been there for half the time I had.

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.
