Pros

Free coffee is a great reason to work at Starbucks, where the java is always flowing to keep energy high as well as the spirits. They seem to do a pretty good job hiring managers, and are always looking to promote from within before they start looking elsewhere for new talent. I can't imagine why someone would want to work anywhere else, to be honest, the pay is reasonable and the demands of the job aren't exactly strenuous. Sure I could be doing more with my diploma, but for the time being this is a pretty good fit for my money.

Cons

The hours can be a little extreme, having to get to work by 5 to be ready for the morning commute rush, but other than that it's a pretty laid back place to work. I mean all you do is serve coffee to people all day, it's really not that bad.

Pros

Starbucks is an extraordinary place to begin a career in retail. The pay is above average and there is a tremendous pride in employment from all of the "partners." This sounds silly for an outsider, but for those working at 5:00am to open their store, it is a point of pride. The job satisfaction is unparalleled and this is attributed by the positive work environment. This job will always be remembered fondly.

Cons

The only drawbacks from working at Starbucks is a limit on income without rising above the store manager level. And this itself is incredibly difficult due to growing pains in the company.
