Pros

If your good at something they will let you do it. Free chipotle for lunch or dinner.

Cons

Terrible pay, 1.5 years of hard work for a .25 raise which brought my wage to 7.05/hr. This was after i spent time learning almost every aspect of work, which included kitchen prep work, kitchen cooking, speed burrito rolling, line work, and POS terminal operations. The amount of labor and continued popularity makes this place a nightmare to work at, although if you are a good english/spanish speaker they will pay more to allow better cross communications between employees.

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.
