Pros

Starbucks has an encouraging atmosphere that cultivates personal growth. They work well with your schedule and are generally helpful when needing time of for personal or medical reasons. The benefits are some of the best allowing anyone with at least 16 hours a week be considered full time for medicals and retirement.

Cons

The pay isn't fantastic as in any food-service job and thus the turnover can be high. In these situations as a manager you sometimes end up with people who don't care about their job.

Pros

Starbucks offers a great benefits package with quality of life. Their minimum hours work requirement is 40/week. The people that I worked with were great. Starbucks was very proactive with results from their partner view surveys, trying to close the gap with dissatisfied partners and upper management.

Cons

There are certainly favorites within the ranks and the decisions made reflects that attitude. Starbucks is going in the opposite direction with their culture. It is going towards all about the numbers and less about the people. Recognition of partners has gone way down. Its an all or nothing attitude.
