I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Howard Beach, NY) in Jun 2025
Interview
After applying for a crew position the night before, I received a fairly immediate email for an interview the next day (the location in question is very new and eagerly hiring). A friend who works at a different location advised me not to arrive too early given my interview time, as I may otherwise run the risk of waiting up to an hour. Come interview day, I waited only about 15 minutes for the manager, who was busy working during a high volume period. All hands appeared to be on deck. When the manager was able, she came to meet me and sat with me at one of the tables. The experience was overall pleasant, staff appeared friendly, and the manager was kind. I was notified that I should expect a decision within 24-48 hours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me your first and last name, and a bit about yourself.
2. How do you take feedback?
3. What is a a strong example of positive customer service that you have been involved in/experienced?
4. Think of a time you’ve gotten into a disagreement with an employer or coworker. How did you handle that?
5. What is your availability?
6. Why do you want to work here?
Just applied online and then got a call to come in for an interview. it was a very straightforward process. interviewed right there in the seating area by the hiring manager.
the interview was very professional and respectful. i appreciated the clear questions and respectful environment. i was given water and they actually sent an email saying i was rejected instead of ghosting me, nice
Easy got the job right away with no experience. NEGATIVE: you need to buy new shoes and was not told this until my first shift...What stood out most was the lack of professionalism. The environment seemed chaotic, and employees appeared stressed and overworked, which made me question the overall workplace culture.
Overall, the experience didn’t reflect well on the company, and it made me reconsider wanting to work there. I hope they improve their interview process to better respect candidates’ time and present a more positive image of their workplace.
