Hi, welcome to the forum. If you were in charge of a crew who speaks Spanish and they say; "Pinche Chad. Es mucho trabajo." They are fussing about you giving them too much work, possibly seriously but just as likely in a light-hearted way. Though "pinche" is technically not a particularly nice word I've heard it used regularly between friends, ecspecially men.
I think they are saying it to mess with you because you don't speak Spanish, lol 
¡Hola!
They are probably saying “mucho trabajo”.
“mucho trabajo” means a lot of work.
Pinche is an adjective that means “lousy or rotten”.
So , they are probably saying something like “It is a lot of work and a lousy job”.
Pinche is a real word, which means chef's helper..
When used as slang, it can be a multitude of expressive adjectives including all the previously mentioned examples.
Let us just say that "pinche" is a word commonly used in Mexico and the United States. It is not nice, but it isn't necessarily bad either.
It sounds like you are trying to say "mucho trabajo" and it means much work.

I work in a kitchen and often hear that phrase. As a chef/cook you will hear quite a bit of crude slang in several languages! One response that is less crude, but often well received is, "mucho trabajo, poco dinero." It means, "I have a lot of work, and I get little pay." Saying that to a worker who has a large task can seem sympathetic.
Pinche is the F-bomb in terms of euphemistically meaning "Gee", as in, "Gee, Chad, that's a lot of work". It sounds like someone is complaining to you about too much work.
It can also be used to amp up an insult, but it doesn't appear like it in this case.
Pinche is the F bomb in spanish,,,
