I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (McKinney, TX) in Feb 2014
Interview
My interview was VERY laid back. After the online pre-screening, I went to the store and spoke the GM and assistant manager. They asked very basic questions, and seemed rather impressed that I had prepared at all. It certainly isn't a tough place to interview at - just make sure you are confident and answer honestly.

Easy, straight forward questions. Started as a group interview and ended up being offered the job along with 2 other people. It was very casual and no pressure. Interviewer was friendly.

I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Very brief, was only asked a few questions. I felt a decision about not hiring me was made before the interviewer even sat down. I suspect the interviewer was not accustomed to interviewing and may actually only standing in for a manager that was not working that day
