Good Perks, Fun environment

Pros

Starbucks Corporate is a fun place to work, perks include free coffee and authors and musicians appearances and performances. Good people to work with.

Cons

With-in the department I worked our VP didn't convey or execute a clear plan that we could see a road map for. I was frustrated in part because of the lack of opportunity to advance in my position. I had the support of my supervisor, but didn't feel much support beyond that. I understand that part of the lack of advancement opportunity was due to the down turn in the economy.

Pros

Great benefits for part time employees and the 30% off discount is nice. A good job for people currently in school.

Cons

For the work needed and for what they put up with, baristas and shift supervisors especially do not get paid nearly enough of what they deserve.

Pros

Everybody I worked with cared about the customers and were generally fun to be around. Starbucks is a fun place to work and the benefits (insurance) can't be beat for an hourly job. The tip splitting policy is also extraordinarily fair.

Cons

I will never be able to say that I enjoyed arriving at work at 4:30 in the morning to open the store by five. The pay isn't all that great, though I knew what I was getting into there. Some of the customers were....very particular and not correspondingly appreciate.
