      Erratic schedules!

      Pros

      Starbucks does offer some pretty good benefits, such as health insurance even for part-time employees.

      Cons

      There are several downsides to working at Starbucks an applicant should be aware of. The primary issue I found, though, was scheduling. Scheduling is often very erratic and sometimes completely out of your control. A manager who is not paying attention can schedule you to work until 9 or 10 PM one day and then come in at 5 AM the next, offering precious little time for sleep in between, especially if you have a commute.

      Pros

      good benefits, flexible hours, easy to move from one starbucks location to another, and easy to return to the sbux family

      Cons

      you will work very very very hard at the busy locations. I'm not so sure about the slow locations, but the busy ones are stressful and intense. I worked in one with two floors and it meant that there was a lot of running up and down stairs. Lots of physical endurance is needed! Also you really aren't paid much, and it's not a great resume builder. Only good as a first job gig.

      It's all fun and games until the partners get hurt.

      Pros

      I appreciate the company's dedication to integrity. The benefits are also very good. I think Starbucks calls employees with a generally happy personality and this helps to create a pleasant work environment. I have been able to balance work and personal life very well in this position. It can be a very fun job.

      Cons

      Recently, the morale has been a lot lower due to the reduction of hours, and decreasing sales. It feels like Starbucks has been putting the needs of employees far below where they need to be in this economic crisis. I am in a remote market and am not able to move up because of cut-backs.
