Starbucks Store Manager review

Store manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Starbucks can be a great place to work if you enjoy a lot of interaction with employees (partners) and customers. The stock options and comprehensive healthcare (for over 20 years) are valuable. It is very customer-focused and oriented toward store operations. If you are motivated and personable, you can advance in the company.

Cons

In management, the long and varied hours and relative lower compensation (comparatively) can be draining. Advancement is limited in field operations. Turnover is high among both hourly employees and store level leadership. Constantly shifting priorities and a focus on meeting targets can also distract from overall operations or manager initiative.
