Starbucks reviews

Too much politics goes on within this company (including at the retail store level). Most are finacially desperate to move up because they pay so poorly otherwise. Most store managers are nothing but kids, themselves so there is little regard for truly mature, competent workers...they are not valued. Stores are usually dirty and unorganized. It's difficult to get hours scheduled to you and then they will send you home if it is not busy enough The stores are ALWAYS understaffed for wht the company expects of the employees. Many district managers are on some ego trip. Little recognition is ever given by management and it usually goes to the butt kissers when there is any. The pay rate for the crazy hours worked is ridiculous...some get up at 3:00a.m. just for minimum wage with no pay rate differential. blah, Blah, BLAH.

Obsessed with cleanliness. Not enough coverage to get background tasks done easily. All aspects of the store are highly regulated since it is a corporate company. Mixed messages (we are told that customers are priority, but are expected to keep the store spotless at all times.) You are expected to sell people things that they dont want. (We are expected to try and sell VIA to all customers, so it has become a negative product in the minds of lots of partners) Expect to work for free at times since it is very hard to get things done and you are expected not to work overtime.
