Pros

Free food and major holidays off

Cons

When people see the salary, they get super excited. Don't be fooled. General Managers " have no personal life " and " this is what you signed up for" as told by area manager and area director. Forced to work 19 hour shifts - day in and day-out with weeks of no days off b/c you are the one that has to cover for being short staffed. Even when you DO manage to get a day off, your boss is calling you to get to the restaurant and help, or get to a meeting, or get on a conference call.... DON'T EVEN DARE making any personal plans, like go out of town or attend any sort of important function on days you manage to get off ! That will get your immediate supervisor against you ! In all reality, as a GM, I was making less than the regular employees with the hours to salary ratio. AVOID becoming management at Chipotle at all costs, it's not worth it!

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.
