Pros

I’ve worked in countless Starbucks stores, Mostly around Boston. I worked for the company for 4 years. The environment was amazing! Everything from the coffee, the customers… to the partners! The benefits were great, discounts, health insurance; even the donations to the community were great. I loved feeling as though I was running my own coffee shop. It was like I was in control, and my final store was doing so well! I really did love my job... and miss it! Thanks for the experience!

Cons

Getting laid off... kidding! Advancement was more of a hope than actuality. The talk of moving forward seemed like a way to get partners to work harder. District managers were not helpful, they pretended to be. When it came time for helping or doing... no help was offered. I think Howard should set up an email account for managers on the portal... an email that any manager can access and leave real comments or suggestions about the company.
