Pros

Nice and supportive coworkers Free meal sometimes depends on the managers and locations Alright work for students to gain customer service experience Career advancement is available if you stay long enough but it'll be much more responsibility and long working hours

Cons

Almost no benefits for crew members. Dealing with crazy customers sometimes. Work shifts are sometimes divided on the same day so instead of getting 8-hour shift with 30-minute paid break, you have 2 shifts scheduled for 4 hours each that are 30 minutes apart, so no paid break and no free meal.

Pros

Somewhat easy to pick up short term work, and depending on the location co-workers can be cool. The free meals are also pretty good, and there is a significant employee discount usually.

Cons

Extremely inconsistent experience between stores. One store I worked at had a really chill manager, while other ones would have management that made the experience absolutely miserable. I had one store that "unofficially" hired me for 18 hours one week and then refused to pay me for those hours, so I guess make absolute sure that all of your hours are recorded in their system. Because portions aren't standardized very well, a significant amount of customers will be angry at you if you don't give enough food, or if you give too much food your manager will yell at you. The fact that the food is made in front of the customer leads to significantly more negative customer interactions. If you do work at a Chipotle, make absolute sure it is one that isn't very busy, as it can be the difference between a relatively chill job and a stressful nightmare.
