Pros

Sometimes fun--key word: sometimes. Definitely get a chance to see many people on a daily basis. Decent benefits for part-time employment: health insurance, etc.

Cons

Low compensation--not enough considering the work load and stress level. Corporate keeps changing established policies regarding beverage preparation. This job makes you hate humanity! Most employees become bitter and cynical because they are not being paid enough.

Pros

Great healthcare package and fun partners

Cons

Starbucks sells a mediocre product, pays baristas sub par wages to slang at an unrealistic speed. Uses healthcare and tip pool to compensate for not paying a respectable wage.

Pros

The benefits. Flexible hours. Flexible schedule. Company recognition by the public. Other Baristas tended to be cool people to work with and the ability to work at other locations.

Cons

Store managers seem to run things with an excessive personal leaning. If you have an awesome manager, then things are great but I have also seen when one is out with the manager and they will make you work with someone you don't get a long with (despite asking not to work with that person). Or pass up people for promotions though they worked well with other staff, had great reviews and had a more available schedule than the one promoted.
