Pros

Great employees, great customers, free coffee. Free coffee is always a plus. Everyone for the most part helps each other out.

Cons

There are many instances where people get promoted who shouldn't get promoted and senior management treats lower level employees as if they don't have any feelings.

Pros

Well developed strategic plans clearly directed from upper management. This is good in the sense that you have clear expectations and management will ensure you stay on track, or replace you.

Cons

Often times too many competing and conflicting priorities. Starbucks is efficiant and puts too much stress on managers to produce sales targets.

Just my opinion

Pros

You get a pound of coffee free every week, as many beverages as you want on your shift. Free stock options after a full year of service

Cons

If store manager you are given a minimal amount of labor to staff and minimal amount of off the floor hours to manage the store, in most cases you must work over 40 hours to manage a store
