Pros

Benefits and flexible scheduling. There is a shift available for just about anyone. Competitive pay for the level of employment. Good environment to learn interpersonal skills. Also teaches you to interact with many different personality types and how to react in various situations. A place to learn and aquire good personnel managment techniques.

Cons

There is a large variance between stores in terms of growth potential. In some stores you might find a strong candidate promoted in the minimum time-frame (varies by individual), other stores it can take so long that the individual burns-out and leaves the company; it mostly comes down to the store manager and district manager, and how growth/development oriented they are. In my time with the company I have seen a collective ~30 years leave the company due to extreme delays in advancement.

Pros

Benefits are great but be prepared to sacrifice for it. If you have any problems with employees not showing up or running late, you are stuck. Starbucks will always come first. Family, friends, plans will always take second place.

Cons

Scheduling. Baristas, supervisors will get the hours they need/want and you have to fill in the blanks so that hours are not over/under.
