Starbucks – “Starbucks =no bucks”

Pros

the benefits!!! I got medical and dental for only $19 every two weeks!
you get free drinks while working and a free pound of coffee weekly. You build relationship with some great customers. Basically, networking can help in getting a way better job because most of these customers are professionals and business people. Starbucks Coffee is worldwide so you can transfer anywhere in the country. You can also pick up extra hours from other employees from other stores in the area. You get tips weekly. They can be between 50 cents to 2 dollars depend on how busy the store is. They are really helpful as gas or lunch money.

Cons

No opportunity to grow! they don't support education so if you're a student, you can't get a promotion because they want you to devote 24 hrs of your day to them. It's unacceptable to be sick because they won't let you call sick. They will hold you responsible to find someone to work for you even if you're very very sick. You work like a janitor. Taking trash out constantly, swiping, mopping and cleaning after customers every 10 minutes. Washing tuns of dishes like you were a dishwasher at a restaurant. Some of the supervisor act like they're God, like being a supervisor is like being a CEO or something. Employees don't like to go by the book when it come to making customers drinks the right way. They give customers decaf coffee whenever they feel like it!

Advice to Senior Management

Stop being cheap with the raises! 22 cents after 6 months is just wrong, especially when i am told by my manager that i am the best worker there.
