Pros

Maybe I was hoodwinked by management, but I really believe that Starbucks is committed to being the best coffee company in the world. The corporate culture is extremely conducive to asking questions and growing your knowledge of the industry. The free pound of coffee every week doesn't hurt either. Management makes it a point to artuclate changing vision and/or important notifications.

Cons

The store environment can be taxing on any employee. You are supposed to learn volumes of information during the training period. Middle management is a little sluggish to work with you on internal mobility.

Pros

You feel like a family here. The benefits are great, and the company gives special attention to its employees at every level. While not every company is perfect, Starbucks is definitely a place I feel proud to work.

Cons

Much of this is based on the latest economic blow, but the company needs to put the focus back on the employees with more of the "little stuff" they used to do, such as incentives, bonuses, better vacation hours, etc.
