Pros

At the chipotle where I work, the crew is like a big family. The perfect combination of hard work, responsibility, and pride is achieved at our store. We start off at more than minimum wage because they expect more from us. I started as tortilla, ( the person who starts your order and makes all the chips for the day) and am now on salsa, ( the person who finishes your order and prepares all the salsas and guac for the day). They make sure you meet the 13 criteria which are Ambitious, Happy, Smart, Polite, Respectful, Honest, Conscientious, Presentable, Curious, Motivated, Hospitable, High Energy, Infectiously Enthusiastic. They give you all the opportunities you need to work your way up. Last but not least, you get a free meal every shift you work and a 50% discount all the time.

Cons

The work is hard but rewarding and some of the customers are difficult.

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.
