Negative experience

Average interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Chipotle (Memphis, TN) in Dec 2017

Interview

The experience was horrible. Mediocre tactics were used to belittle other associates and companies. Management lacked motivation and gave off negativity. I do not recommend this job to any person.
