    Poor Management

    Feb 27, 2023 - Starbucks-Barista in Seymour, TN
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Slower pace than free standing Starbucks Good co-workers and assistant management Get to try out new drinks/foods for free Pay is fine for what you are doing

    Cons

    Kiosk manager failed upwards-had no clue what they were doing and was awful to employees. Store manager doesn't care who is running departments. Kiosk is tiny when you are busy and have 4-5 people trying to stay on top of orders and inventory. Training is not comprehensive-you are thrown into the mix after a few days of reading the employee manual and practice with different stations, but that's about it.
