Pros

Lots of space to learn and grow but within your current payscale and salary. Once you are in a position, it is very hard to get out of it and accelerate without networking and playing a game. Work life balanced is very manageable depending on department.

Cons

As much as Starbucks adheres and promotes the culture of independence and work/life balance, there is still the old school boys club that exists which is incredibly hard to navigate through, and demeaning towards women and minorities.
