Starbucks reviews

Not a ton of upward mobility, but that is expected in retail. Some stores are not so fun to work at.

Senior Management in Seattle are having a hard time deciding on what the company wants to do in the future to keep afloat. One thing right after another (tea lattes --> movies about spelling bees --> back to true coffee -->SELL SELL SELL those cupcakes! ---> brew fresh coffee every 30 mins --> Instant Coffee is the best coffee in the world!) All just way to wishwashy for me. Don't expect to make it up the retail ladder : store closures make it hard to internally move up. Sometimes hard to get shifts covered... and the hardest to get covered when you wake up ill at 5am Ok pay ("Made up by the benefits, can be true") Deal with the general public : Older people, business people, teenagers, soccer moms, people that live out of their cars, people that bring their office into the store to sit in a comfy chairs for 8 hours straight, the stalkers, and the meanest people coming in right after church.
