Interview
I applied and for an e-mail the next day saying i have an interview. So on the date of my interview it was supposed to start at 9am so i got there at 8:45. There were 2 other people there. So 9am came around and no sign of the manager. We waited and then at any 9:20 a worker comes and there's is the manager is busy so he's gonna start at 10am instead. So we at there watching the people prepare food. At a little after 10 he comes out and interviews us 1 by 1. My interview only lasted about 10 minutes and 2 of those minutes were spent asking me basic questions that were answered on the application and the rest he spent talking about the chain and how they're different then it was over. He didn't ask me any questions about myself or goals or anything like i expected. Ultimately it was a waste of time because i did not get the job.

Interview
The interview was pretty easy, but I had to wait 30 to 40 minutes after my interview was scheduled to be interviewed. Inside the Chipotle, it was extremely hot and really uncomfortable, but other than that, the interview was pretty easy. But I haven’t heard back, as I was supposed to get a call on Sunday.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They mainly asked me for my availability throughout the week, if I’m able to work weekends, what my good and bad qualities were, and that’s pretty much it and hobbies.
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.
