      Good environment, unimpressive pay

      Pros

      Everybody I worked with cared about the customers and were generally fun to be around. Starbucks is a fun place to work and the benefits (insurance) can't be beat for an hourly job. The tip splitting policy is also extraordinarily fair.

      Cons

      I will never be able to say that I enjoyed arriving at work at 4:30 in the morning to open the store by five. The pay isn't all that great, though I knew what I was getting into there. Some of the customers were....very particular and not correspondingly appreciate.

      Pros

      The pay is pretty high and raises are quick. I started at 8.25 and went to 9.11 in 1 year. Also has tuition reimbursement up to a certain amount

      Cons

      I burned my foot (barely) by spilling a hot drink

      Pros

      It's a really well-performing company especially in this economy. The people are always nice,always has a smile on their face. They love their job and its evident. However, much is needed to improve their lifestyle.

      Cons

      Pay workers better. My wife has been a Barista for almost 6 years (July 2010) and she is now at $10.56 an hour. I started at Costco in a seasonal role @ $11.00 per hour. It doesn't make any sense. Her reviews have been stellar for the past 6 years and isn't being paid fairly. You cannot live on $11.00 an hour. Starbucks needs to realize this.
