Pros

Great environment in most stores, fairly easy job, free coffee, solid benefits, good products, fast paced.

Cons

They hire outside of the company way too much and don't promote enough within, leading to people you trained being your bosses. The senior management team has pretty much all changed meaning all of the people that created the Starbucks culture are gone, besides Schultz and he has been consumed by wall street.

Pros

most of the , leadership really did "walk the talk" about following the mission statement and guiding principles, and it trickled down to the way everybody else treated each other. It's great to work for a place where everyone is so excited about the product, even if they work in a support department that has nothing to do with coffee directly.

Cons

there was a lot of talk about "transformation" in the last 6 month, but it didn't feel very focussed. Many people wanted to know what they could do to help or change, but weren't getting good direction because leadership wasn't available, focussed upwards not downwards.
