The coffee smell ! It's really amazing to smell the fresh coffee all day. I have always loved it's aroma.

Starbucks is definitely a noisy environment, some customers will often complain, it can be tough on the nerves some days.

Innovation People and Customer Focused Ethical Company Passionate people who care about contributing to thier communities both locally and globaly

Cons

The recent economic downturn has made Starbucks a favorite punching bag for late nite comedians and right-wing radio talk show hosts. After being the media darling for so long, this is difficult to take.

Pros

My manager was great and only hired the best people. The pay was adequate and the tips were okay. The benifits were great. I experenced a death in the family and they were completely flexable and helped me cover all my shifts for 2 weeks. The best part about working there were my coworkers. I always had a blast when I was working.

Cons

With the economic downturn, advancing in the company is extrememly difficult. I was told that i would be a shift manager within 3 months. 3 months came and went and there were no openings at my store or in the district. After a year and still no movement, i bailed.
