Pros

Flexible hours (for the most part), quick advancement from entry level to supervisor if qualified, many managers are fun and relaxed, great work for students.

Cons

Poor communication from management, constant changes with very little explanation and notice. Very poor recognition for superior work and leadership. job duties and expectations are constantly increased while raises (3% max) are held back for any "weakness", however slight. Typical corporate structure and environment.

Pros

Excellent benefits, terrific experience, decent pay, fun and enjoyable place to work. Perfect for a college student as the scheduling is usually extremely flexible.

Cons

The company is tanking right now. After expanding too quickly and diluting the brand with automatic espresso machines, competitors like McDonalds are making it difficult for Starbucks to remain profitable. As such, the opportunities for advancement were next to zero in my district, where they shutdown over 30% of the local stores.

Pros

Higher end QSR job. Used to have good opportunities for advancement and work life balance.

Cons

In the last year the company has cut a lot of labor, leaving the work on the manager alone. What used to be a flexible 40-45 hour a week job has now become a 50-60 hour job for the same pay with less flexibility.
