Pros
Free drinks and coffee beans. I was lucky and had flexible scheduling, though this is dependent on the manager. Benefits are good for a part-time retail job... if you can afford them. My store was a very positive place to work at.
Cons
Low pay. Often totally incompetent district managers - many who have never run a store themselves and can't make simple drinks - that harass store managers. The stress rolls downhill. Can be a difficult place for older employees. Starbucks has some of the snootiest, rudest customers on the planet. Every day is a test of patience and humility.
