Pros

Starbucks offers a great benefits package with quality of life. Their minimum hours work requirement is 40/week. The people that I worked with were great. Starbucks was very proactive with results from their partner view surveys, trying to close the gap with dissatisfied partners and upper management.

Cons

There are certainly favorites within the ranks and the decisions made reflects that attitude. Starbucks is going in the opposite direction with their culture. It is going towards all about the numbers and less about the people. Recognition of partners has gone way down. Its an all or nothing attitude.

Pros

Respect for employees, great company values. Embraces a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. There is passion for the products and the people.

Cons

Very matrixed organization. Some employees have a sense of entitlement but generally a good place to work. There is some lack of process so it can be hard to get things done.
