Pros

Starbucks is an excellent place to work unless you work for their call center. The people are excellent and the benefits were extremely good.

Cons

All other positions have the option to attend educational programs funded from within the company. If you take advantage of these courses you will rise quickly. I was hired on in the call center and told these opportunities would be available to me. Unfortunately, they were not. The call center is a dead end. You will only be promoted within the call center. Lateral movement is extremely rare.

Pros

It provides me with experience to one day build my own business based on knowledge I acquire now. The health benefits are amazing.

Cons

There is a lot of pressure to perform well right now, and the expectations are high, yet there is lack of consistency or clarity when the messages are sent down from senior leadership to the store level. Senior leadership doesn't seem to understand this lack of clarity or miscommunication.
