Manager, Media 
Dallas, TX

If 'work hard play hard' were enough for a job description we would just stop there, because that's what ChiliHeads have been doing since 1975. 
ChiliHeads are a team that takes pride in Chili's culture and seeks every opportunity to make people feel special. Life is too short not to work happy, right? Actually, life is too long not to work happy. That's better.
At Brinker, we connect, serve, and give to create the best life for our Team Members, guests, and community. It's in our DNA. Seriously, grab your electron microscope, take a look, and you'll see little burgers and Presidente Margaritas built right in. It's what makes a ChiliHead a ChiliHead.
