This ChiliHead discovered just what the Power Of Love Can do.
In 2022, Amber Olman made Chili’s career history as the first ChiliHead to leverage the Certified Shift Lead (CSL) Program, which was created in 2019, to catapult her to a Director of Operations position after just seven years with the brand. Amber was hired as a To-Go Specialist in 2015 in Lake Charles, LA, and developed through CSL, Manager and Managing Partner positions at various locations before returning to North Louisiana as a DO. Amber is proof that growth is always possible with Chili’s, no matter where you want to go!
