Starbucks reviews

This company values the perception of success, results, and performance more than the real thing. It is not a meritocracy. Accomplishments are not valued via every avenue - you have to follow the right path. And in many cases innovation is not rewarded, but homogonized into something else entirely.

You are not allowed to tell a customer no even when they are wrong, which can belittle employees. This almost gives the customer permission to treat workers cruelly. As with any job company ideals can be lost in the actions of those in management, however corporate is very understanding and repectful of employees. Hours can suddenly change or decrease without any given reason. Unfortunately being sick is not an accepted reason for not coming in unless you find someone to work for you; not doing so can result in termination. Internal growth seems like a priority but opportunities in my specific district were few and far between.
