Careers at Caribou
Here
at Caribou Coffee, we believe this to be true: that if passion,
hard work, and excellence go into an endeavor, the outcome
will be a quality experience, and therefore, rewarding.
This is true for Amy O'Neil, who fresh out of college took
a $5.25-an-hour job with Caribou Coffee Co., which at that
time had only four stores. She figured she would work there
for a short period of time to save money for graduate school.
Sometimes,
however, your plans don't turn out the way you expect them
to. This "short period of time" turned into a
lifelong experience for O'Neil.
Although corporate America is still considered a "man's
world," we are finally seeing some changes today. Many
women in companies across the country are breaking the glass
ceiling. Diversity is a key component of Caribou Coffee's
philosophy, says Michael J. Coles, CEO of the Minneapolis-based
company. About 60 percent of its 4,000-plus employees are
women.
Our mission at Caribou Coffee is to provide an experience
that makes the day better. Caribou Coffee stores have the
look and feel of an Alaskan lodge, with knotty-pine cabinetry,
a fireplace, and soft seating. So we invite our customers
to spend some time in our mountain-lodge retreat, and be
greeted and waited on by our courteous, fully caffeinated
staff. Our customers are treated to the highest-quality
gourmet coffee and food items - and unparalleled service.
We offer employees a fun, friendly neighborhood atmosphere,
have-a-life work schedules, and great career opportunities.
The future looks bright for the nation's second-largest
specialty coffee company. Caribou Coffee has more than 300
stores in 13 states.
