APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT

Name:

Position:

Known as the “grandfather of specialty coffee,” Peet’s Coffee & Tea has been a Berkeley institution since 1966 when Alfred Peet opened the first Peet’s store – with a roasting machine on the premises – at the corner of Vine and Walnut. Since that time, our mission has remained unchanged – to pursue uncompromising quality in every cup of Peet’s coffee or tea. By remaining steadfast in our quality commitment, Peet’s has spawned a devout following of loyalists who will attest that once you drink Peet’s coffee, it is unlike any other.

Peet’s has grown considerably since its beginnings with stores across the country. We have added new ways to sell coffees and teas including online, mail order, specialty food and grocery stores, offices, restaurants and hotels, in addition to the retail stores.

Essentially, though, Peet’s hasn’t changed much. We remain committed to delivering the highest quality and sharing an enduring passion for coffee and tea with our customers. Employees take pride in their work and their company and endeavor to provide the best customer service of any coffee company in the world. Peet’s prides itself on providing extensive training and enjoys hiring from the surrounding communities so that local ambassadors of the Peet’s brand operate our stores.

We believe that one of the great strengths of our community is the rich diversity of our residents. Peet’s is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, color, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or medical condition as defined by state, federal, or local law. Peet’s provides reasonable accommodation to assist in the hiring process and performance of essential job functions as required by applicable federal, state, and local laws.

I hereby certify that I have not knowingly withheld or misrepresented any information pertaining to my application for employment and that the answers given by me are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand that any omission or misstatement of material fact on this application or on any document used to secure employment shall be grounds for rejection of this application or for immediate discharge if I am employed, regardless of the time elapsed before discovery.

I hereby authorize Peet’s Coffee & Tea to thoroughly investigate my references, work record, education and other matters related to my suitability for employment and, further, authorize the references I have listed, or any additional references identified by me or Peet’s, to provide any relevant information regarding my current and/or previous employment. In addition, I hereby release all persons, schools and employers of any and all claims, demands or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to such investigation or disclosure.

I understand and agree that as part of the employment process, I may be asked to sign a separate form authorizing Peet’s Coffee & Tea to obtain a “Consumer Report” and/or an “Investigative Consumer Report” from a consumer reporting agency. I further understand that any offer of employment may be contingent upon the successful completion of a background check.

I understand and agree that, if employed, my employment with Peet’s is at-will and can be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice at the option of either me or Peet’s. No manager or representative of Peet’s, other than Peet’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has the authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time or to make any agreement contrary to this at-will relationship. Any such agreement must be in writing and signed by the President and me. This express at-will agreement constitutes the entire agreement between me and Peet’s with respect to the duration of my employment or the circumstances or conditions under which my employment may be terminated. This at-will agreement supersedes and precludes the existence of any contrary agreements, expressed or implied.

I understand and agree that if hired, upon termination of my employment I will promptly return all property belonging to Peet’s, including but not limited to keys, computer equipment and credit cards.
