Pros

Initially getting hired at chipotle I made a dollar over minimum wage. Free meal during your shift. Easy to learn. Allowed overtime Good ethical food,

Cons

Never received a raise after initial quarter. Dealt with Racism constantly, customers are rude, non-english speaking employees assume other people can't hear/understand them. GM was relocated and the SM did a poor job keeping things under control. Stressful, when I was cashier I was told I should be able to move over 100 sales per hour. That's less than a minute with each person. manager back up was always late when a customer was upset, then I was blamed for following the rules (eg. explaining to the customer meat costs extra). Only received one shirt when hired. Inflexible hours. Managers took personal issues out on staff, favoritism, poor leadership, lack of communication, lack of management training.

Pros

Lots of flexibility and good company benefits. Cool office space and good people. The company wants you to learn more and give you the opportunity to do so.

Cons

In the corporate space, very limited career growth opportunities. Current manager micromanages but not terribly. Company performance stinks and leadership does not want to take accountability.
