Pros

- One free meal of whatever you desire per shift - Flexible schedule - Most co-workers and customers are nice people

Cons

The management at the Chipotle I worked at was very poor. That person's style of leadership was "do everything I say and if you don't like it there's the door" type of deal. All of the other newly appointed managers were also nervous newbs. The only reason managers like the dictator I described got away with how he treated his workers was because he knew that most of the immigrants working at Chipotle cannot find other jobs easily. Which is really sad considering he himself is an immigrant. I'm not trying to sound condescending but that was really the only reason why he ruled through fear.

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.
