Pros
Starbucks was a great place to work. The people were friendly, the customers enticing and you got to have free coffee all day! Work hours were nice- you could open and be off by noon. The pay, for my position, (in related fields) was excellent. I made a base pay of 50k, plus amazing healthcare and incentive plans. I enjoyed the feeling you got from knowing you were doing a good deed- helping people- some in their darkest hour. Sounds cliche, but it was and is so true. Starbucks is not just a coffee shop- it is not just a fast food joint. It is a third place, a place to unwind, mingle and mourn.
Cons
Long hours off the clock Promotions are slim Company is too PC
