      Overworked, bad management

      Pros

      The job itself is pretty fun, customers can be great, free coffee. It really depends on the management. If the person interviewing you doesn't seem friendly, don't take that job.

      Cons

      If you get a manager who is mean, the shift supervisors she chooses to hire will also be bad You will be underpaid and overworked From my personal experience, I was bullied by the management, and her favorite shift supervisors. They say you can move up in the company, but that's false. If you think moving up to less than 12/hour for a supervisor is success, then you've found the right place. The coffee is bad, and once you see how it's really made, you won't want to shop at starbucks again

      Employees and Store Manager alike went home in tears daily

      Pros

      Employee discount on food, amazingly affordable medical benefits even for the bottom tier employees

      Cons

      Corporate management is insane, stores that are too busy to do any good back of house cleaning are punished by having cleaning hours reduced since we 'obviously weren't using them', starbucks claims to have this amazing new-age corporate 'soul and responsibility', but is perhaps one of the worst corporate-apathy offenders out there

      Pros

      Great coworkers who are generally excited (albeit from their caffeine highs) and free coffee.

      Cons

      This corporation no longer cares about the morale of its employees. I joined the company almost five years ago because I felt like being a Partner meant something. I wanted to be a part of the loving family that was Starbucks. Sadly, like most corporations, this company is now exclusively customer focused at the expense of its so-called partners's happiness.
