Starbucks reviews

The number of stores opened and the overall business model for teh stores completely prevents profitability at the store and district level. Since bonuses are earned based on profitability, it is impossible to make them. Also, the really lousy attitude of the store partners is so demoralizing. There is a heirarchy or acceptance with "homegrown" at the top regardless of performance and "external" constantly berated - also regardless of performance.

There are several downsides to working at Starbucks an applicant should be aware of. The primary issue I found, though, was scheduling. Scheduling is often very erratic and sometimes completely out of your control. A manager who is not paying attention can schedule you to work until 9 or 10 PM one day and then come in at 5 AM the next, offering precious little time for sleep in between, especially if you have a commute.
