Independent Distributor | Dallas, TX | Jul 29, 2019
Good overall
In the beginning it was a lot of fun helping to establish Peet’s Coffee in the Dallas market. The pay was above average and the work hours were good. It is a physical job though and it’s go go go once start your day.

Marketing Manager | Emeryville, CA | Jun 19, 2017
Great culture, exciting times!
Great work-life balance, fun and energetic atmosphere. Very exciting time to be apart of the company as they're growing but resources are not 100%, need to be very resourceful and scrappy.
ProsFree coffee! Great benefits package, Summer hours
