Pros

Chipotle offers its employees every chance to grow and advance within the company. My managers were always very flexible and understanding, whether it was in regards to shift changes, emergencies, or having a strenuous shift that left you drained. I worked at two different locations, one in California and one in Texas. My crew members became close friends and my managers (at all managerial levels) fostered strong bonds while maintaining a healthy working relationship.

Cons

I think the worst part was the rude customers. At the Texas location we were right across from a university and from that you sometimes had the rude and entitled college student or adult come in. And at the California location the store was located in a wealthy business and residential area which meant the average customers that came in had a different view of customer service. You learn to perfect your rage smile.

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.
