Pros
Excellent benefits, terrific experience, decent pay, fun and enjoyable place to work. Perfect for a college student as the scheduling is usually extremely flexible.
Cons
The company is tanking right now. After expanding too quickly and diluting the brand with automatic espresso machines, competitors like McDonalds are making it difficult for Starbucks to remain profitable. As such, the opportunities for advancement were next to zero in my district, where they shutdown over 30% of the local stores.
