Pros

Give back to the community. Innovation. Great non-salary/non-healthcare perks for Partners

Cons

Upper Management is not aware of some very poor performing managers who lead the show at corporate. (Individuals can be threatening, create a retaliatory environment and are not versed in how to provide fair feedback that encourages the career growth of their subordinates.). Supply Chain is the biggest offender at headquarters.

Pros

Compared to other food establishments, baristas at starbucks make a decent hourly wage plus tips. we also get very good benefits such as our "partner markout" which entitles us to a free pound of coffee or a box of tea per week. Also, it is a nice relaxing environment where you connect with the people you help.

Cons

unless you're a manager, you are typically looking at a max of 30 hours per week, but most of the time it is in the low 20's per week. It also can be a very stressful environment due to peak hours (2-3 hours generally in the morning) being when we see about 50% or more of our business, and the sometimes absurd customer requests that you will find out about when you start working here.
