Starbucks reviews

It's like being in the greek system and heaven help you if you don't have the clothes to work there. This company grew way too quickly, and had, when I was there, way, way, way too many managers of one person. It was staggering to watch the amount of time spent talking about social awareness, but see how clueless these same people could be interpersonally. The hiring bar was low and focused more on soft skills vs. execution. A pervasive attitude of working towards the greater good was suffocating there, and they actually believed that they were helping the poor coffee farmers they bought from. Not to mention the huge blinders when it came to the "Starbuckization" of coffee culture, which they claim to carry a torch for.

physical labor, demanding hours. odd work schedule. no job security. lack of understanding with personal life issues. You semll like coffee at the end of every shift and come to a point where it's difficult to enjoy a good cup of coffee.
