Warum Tchibo so erfolgreich ist? Weil wir niemals stillstehen. Wir sind stolz auf unsere Tradition, aber erfinden uns immer wieder neu. Deshalb überraschen wir unsere Kunden mit innovativen Ideen – von Spülbürsten aus recycelten Kaffeekapseln bis hin zu Kinderkleidung zum Mieten. Wir bei Tchibo sind alle verschieden, aber teilen eine Leidenschaft: Wir wollen gute Ideen noch besser machen – in allen Unternehmensbereichen. Ob als Azubi in einer unserer Filialen, als Trainee im Marketing, als Kommissionierer in der Logistik, oder als Teamleiter im E-Commerce: Uns alle verbindet der Wille, Unmögliches möglich zu machen. Daran wachsen wir und entwickeln uns weiter – beruflich und persönlich. Rund 12.100 Mitarbeiter weltweit – davon 7.900 in Deutschland – arbeiten jeden Tag daran, Freude ins Leben unserer Kunden zu bringen. Egal, in welchem Bereich: Wir bei Tchibo sind stolz darauf, dass wir immer neugierig bleiben und nie bequem werden. Wir geben viel – und bekommen viel zurück, denn wir übernehmen Verantwortung füreinander. Vertrauensarbeitszeit, Gesundheitsförderung, Teilzeitarbeit, Sportkurse und Kinderbetreuung – Angebote, die für uns selbstverständlich sind. Weil wir gemeinsam viel erreichen wollen, fördern wir die Stärken jedes Einzelnen mit individuellen Aus- und Weiterbildungsangeboten. Wo auch immer du gerade stehst: Bei Tchibo kannst du mit deinen Ideen Gutes besser machen. Wir bleiben anders. Du auch?
