      Pros

      The pay is pretty high and raises are quick. I started at 8.25 and went to 9.11 in 1 year. Also has tuition reimbursement up to a certain amount

      Cons

      I burned my foot (barely) by spilling a hot drink

      Pros

      The coffee is awesome and when in a properly managed store, the overall morale is extremely high. I have never dreaded going to work. For the most part, all partners are more than willing to pick up some slack when the going gets tough. Starbucks screens all potential partners well. Very few "Negative Nancies" slip through the cracks.

      Cons

      You go home smelling like spoiled milk if you have a rough day on the espresso bar; and, of course, some of the customers can get a little out of hand with our "Just say Yes" policy. That is true of any business in which you are dealing with the public, not just Starbucks.

      A learning "experience".

      Pros

      Great people in many areas of the business that are smart, passionate and love the brand. Good stepping stone job.

      Cons

      Group think, clicks, and management is very out of touch. Creativity and having a voice is frowned on in many areas. Not much room for growth or development. Talent and performance are secondary to being a favorite or being little of a career threat to one's direct supervisor.
