Starbucks reviews

Being treated like a 2 year old by DM ( who was an external hire and was not supportive at all) NO life / work balance at all. NO sleep routine due to store hours, no "proper" system in place when someone is sick. As an SM you have to work if there is no replacement barista. This means working a 17/18 hour day if necessary. TOTALLY illegal but all Sbux cares about is running the business and not taking care of it's people.Their Mission Statement would have you believe otherwise, but don't be fooled. Write ups for the smallest infraction which can harm morale of the team. I felt as if l was in kindergarten and was forced to make everyone else feel that way. A micro managing DM who had no personality and didn't encourage anyone else to have one either. If you want a job where you are able to do as are told, have no independent thoughts because EVERYTHING is controlled then this job is for you. If, like me, you have more than half a brain cell and are capable of independent thought, then this is definitely NOT the job for you!

1. You're not guaranteed any hours 2. Shifts can be all over the place. They can have you working a close one night and an open the next day 8 hours later. 3. Management is rude and two faced. They'll throw you under the bus for anything. 4. Strict standards of dress code at the store I worked at. The Managers could arrive late for their shifts but anyone else would be written up for arriving even 2 minutes late in the door. 5. Write ups are frequent even if you're a great employee. It can be for the smallest thing like forgetting to set the timer on the coffee during rush. 5. Starbucks has NO values. They are completely "big business and will always put management before any employee even if the manager is completely inappropriate. 6. Raises suck between 1% and 3% every six months of your total pay.
