Pros

You didn’t have to censor yourself or your music because even the management had a filthy mouth. Food really is freshly made and restaurant quality ... was surprising for something considered “fast food”. Very strict standards, which is why I still eat there despite hating when I worked there.

Cons

They expect you to do the job of two people most of the time because they don’t want to hire enough people to do the job. Horrible pay. Not even $11 per hour. They don’t train you properly and then get angry when you’re flailing and unable to do the job properly. Ended up being emotionally drained from a job that didn’t even last two months.

Pros

Somewhat easy to pick up short term work, and depending on the location co-workers can be cool. The free meals are also pretty good, and there is a significant employee discount usually.

Cons

Extremely inconsistent experience between stores. One store I worked at had a really chill manager, while other ones would have management that made the experience absolutely miserable. I had one store that "unofficially" hired me for 18 hours one week and then refused to pay me for those hours, so I guess make absolute sure that all of your hours are recorded in their system. Because portions aren't standardized very well, a significant amount of customers will be angry at you if you don't give enough food, or if you give too much food your manager will yell at you. The fact that the food is made in front of the customer leads to significantly more negative customer interactions. If you do work at a Chipotle, make absolute sure it is one that isn't very busy, as it can be the difference between a relatively chill job and a stressful nightmare.
