Pros – great company to work for, starbucks will take care of you. i am a college student and they give me 500 dollars a semester, and as a broke college student everything helps.

Cons – horrible managers. they dont hire locally and they really do just care about whats cheaper. after 2 years at a hawaii starbucks my current manager is an idiot and my district manager seems to have abandoned us and turned a blind eye.

Former Employee – worked at Starbucks

Pros – Laid Back
Fair Managers

Cons – Very limited in terms of advancing (within stores)

Advice to Senior Management – Be more aware

Current Employee – been working at Starbucks

Pros – 1. Friendly coworkers
2. Easy job to learn over time
3. Make good connections with customers

Cons – 1. External managers
2. Lack of promotion within some stores
3. Early shifts 4 AM

Advice to Senior Management – There are some managers that are externally hired and believe that they know everything about Starbucks from the beginning. This is wrong because there have been too many times where the baristas at my store have given advice to the new managers about something that they're unaware of. They don't listen, and the whole store suffers. My advice would be to hire and promote more within the company than to hire outside people who have no idea what it's like to be a barista or take the time to understand their partners.

Former Employee – worked at Starbucks

Pros – Great work environent! Fairness all around. Very competitive in career advancement but easy to do if you work hard and strive. Very energetic upbeat workplace.

Cons – On your feet ALL DAY LONG. You smell like coffee once you leave everyday and your clothes are stained. Tips arent always as good as other weeks.

Advice to Senior Management – Pay a little more attention to your employees. You shouldnt do outside hires if you have fully competent individuals working in the company that can go into upperlevel management.
