      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.

      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.

      Pros

      Starbucks is a great place to work if you want to get free coffee. You get 30% off of the food and retail items as well, and a free pound of coffee or a box of tea a week. There are still some great managers and partners (employees) out there that make working there a good experience but the ompany has been systematically laying them off. The culture used to be great but no longer is

      Cons

      Senior Management clueless. no advancement opps anymore
