    2.0

    Starbucks Barista:   (Past Employee - 2007)

    Pros

    Lots of freebies... drinks, pastries, a pound of coffee per week
    Many locations to choose from, particularly in heavily populated areas

    Cons

    Depending on store, work culture can be very immature
    Transferring to a different store is very difficult
    Some store managers take forever to get simple things like referral bonuses processed
    Employee favoritism and a lot of workplace drama
    Best employees are routinely given unpleasant assignments (drive-thru, deep cleaning) while new or weak employees are given pleasant assignments (front register, light cleaning)

    Advice to Senior Management

    Focus on who is actually attempting to do a good job; reward good work ethic with good job assignments, promotions, and appropriate raises.
