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

Pros

There corporate social responsibility is really admirable. The benefits are fantastic.

Cons

The store manager's schedule is totally inconsistent. It is very difficult to plan a life outside of work with this company.

Pros

The job is fun and you get to and you always have something to do. It's not boring at all. The benefits are amazing if you can manage to work just 20 hours a week. that's not too hard. You'll definitely want to work more because this environment is relaxed- except in the mornings- and it's so much fun. I say this because I worked there when I was in college and it was just a great time interacting with those around me. Even after a few months out of college I worked there for the benefits and it was still worth it.

Cons

Th pay isn't great, but at least it's work.
