Starbucks – “Good for part time work”

Pros

Interesting people, flexibility, tansitional employment. You can change titles, or move and still have options for employment at Starbucks.

Cons

There are some great distric managers, and some terrible ones. You have to find the right people to work with. Some store managers assume great integrity, while others are manipulative and selfish. It's all about the district and store you work in. I had both the best managment and worst managment I have ever seen there, 10 miles apart from each other...

Advice to Senior Management

Don't be fooled by magic numbers... Some of your worst managers produce good marks, while some respectable managers are in tough neighbor hood markets.
