Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) today announced its
second-annual National Career Day, taking place on Wednesday,
September 28, 2016 during which it seeks to hire 5,000 new
employees, topping its 2015 goal of 4,000.
Managers of each U.S. restaurant location will hold open
interviews for up to 100 applicants from 8-11 a.m. and 3-5 p.m. on
September 28. Interested candidates are invited to register for an
interview at the Chipotle location of their choice by visiting
www.nationalcareerday.com.
Chipotle currently employs more than 60,000 people, and people
who are hired into entry-level crew positions have the potential to
quickly be promoted into management positions. Over the last year,
the company has promoted more than 11,000 people from hourly crew
into management roles. Through National Career Day, interested
applicants will have the opportunity to interview onsite with a
manager and jumpstart their career with one of the nation’s fastest
growing restaurant companies.
“We are constantly looking for great people to join our team.
Regardless of your background or experience, you can succeed at
Chipotle if you are willing to work hard to create an excellent
guest experience, and have a passion for making the people around
you better,” said Monty Moran, co-chief executive officer at
Chipotle. “With the success of last year’s National Career Day, we
hope to hire 5,000 new people during National Career Day to join
our team and start their career at Chipotle. Working here isn’t
just a job, but a career where employees learn how to make others
better, run a successful business, master culinary skills, and most
importantly, become true leaders, of teams of top performers.”
With a company culture that values character over experience (no
experience is required to apply or be hired), Chipotle bases its
hiring on a specific set of 13 Characteristics that indicate an
applicant’s potential for success within the company. These traits
include being conscientious, respectful, hospitable, high energy,
infectiously enthusiastic, happy, presentable, smart, polite,
motivated, ambitious, curious and honest.
Unlike most companies in the traditional fast food and fast
casual industries, Chipotle offers all employees significant career
advancement opportunities, as well as compensation and benefits
above industry standard. By developing career skills internally,
more than 90 percent of the company’s restaurant managers are
promoted from within. The highest performing managers have the
additional opportunity to be promoted to Restaurateur, which offers
benefits such as a company car and six-figure earning potential.
Many people have been promoted from crew or general manager
positions to executive roles, or even officer roles, within the
company.
Chipotle also offers a highly competitive benefits package to
all employees, including paid sick leave and vacation time; tuition
assistance; heavily discounted undergraduate and graduate classes
and college programs through its partnership with Guild Education;
health, dental and vision insurance; a 401(k) matching program;
employee stock purchase program; and the opportunity for
twice-annual merit increases and an annual bonus. A full look at
the career path and benefits can be found on Chipotle’s Career
site: http://careers.chipotle.com/career-path.
For Chipotle’s first National Career Day, nearly 65,000 people
registered for interviews and Chipotle extended job offers to more
than 4,000 people throughout the week of National Career Day.

ABOUT CHIPOTLE
Steve Ells, founder, chairman and co-CEO, started Chipotle with
the idea that food served fast did not have to be a typical fast
food experience. Today, Chipotle continues to offer a focused menu
of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla)
and salads made from fresh, high-quality raw ingredients, prepared
using classic cooking methods and served in a distinctive
atmosphere. Through our vision of Food With Integrity, Chipotle is
seeking better food from using ingredients that are not only fresh,
but that — where possible — are sustainably grown and raised
responsibly with respect for the animals, the land and the farmers
who produce the food. In order to achieve this vision, we focus on
building a special people culture that is centered on creating
teams of top performers empowered to achieve high standards. This
people culture not only leads to a better dining experience for our
customers, it also allows us to develop future leaders from within.
Chipotle opened with a single restaurant in 1993 and operates more
than 2,000 restaurants, including 24 Chipotle restaurants outside
the US and 14 ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen restaurants, and is
an investor in an entity that owns and operates four Pizzeria
Locale restaurants. For more information, visit Chipotle.com.
