Pros

The people. The majority of Starbucks employees are intelligent, funny, and considerate. I have made many friends here. Making quality drinks and connecting with customers makes my day meaningful. There are a lot of amazing new things coming for the company. Better technology, training, resources, etc.

Cons

The executives are passionate, knowledgeable and inspiring. Regional managment is often unable to live up to this standard. Regional managment cannot connect the vision to what is actually happening day to day. That is because a large majority of regional VPs, regional directors, and district managers have never spent more that their initial 2 week training in a store. They have no realy understanding of the challenges we face as we try to live up to the vision and mission of the company.

Pros

The people you are surrounded with are smart, balanced, forward-thinking, and progressive. Working in the field allows you to maintain your own schedule, and I rarely felt like my manager was breathing down my neck. If you do your job well, you will enjoy working here. If you struggle, you will know it very quickly.

Cons

Communication from Corporate can be a challenge at times- the reality of the large organization means that often the message is blurred. Slow at times to resolve issues, as group consensus is extremely important.
