Tell us a little bit about yourself.
My name is Marcus Amador. I am a hard worker and a team player. When I was younger, I was in a Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) program which taught me structure that has helped me to grow in this company.
When did you join the Border family?
I started with Border Foods in September of 2017. I had no experience in fast food, and I had been doing landscaping for ten to fifteen years prior. I applied for a part time position, but moved up to a SL position within six months. I then was promoted to an AGM. I took over the store that I helped build within two years. My health has caused me to recently take a leave of absence. I am excited and ready to come back to my team.
What is your favorite part about working for Border Foods?
I like how the company treats their employees. We feel like a family no matter what. They really believe in people.
What’s your go-to menu item?
Steak Burrito Supreme
Any fun facts about yourself that you can share with us?
I enjoy making the team laugh and being a clown sometimes. I am a big Texas fan.
If given a chance, who would you like to be for a day and why?
Paul Rodrigues because I love laughing and having a good time. He paved the way for Hispanic comedians.

Share three career lessons you’ve learned so far.
I have learned how to deal with difficult people (both customers and employees), and how to adapt to an ever changing schedule. I am learning the business aspect of the company. When I began working for Border Foods, I would need help to open an email. Now I am digging into P&Ls, and strategically working on analytics.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to watch sports and movies with my family.
