Pros

It used to be a great place to work because they used to care about their people. They used to be very focused on partner development and now that seems to have disappeared and they act very cold toward their team.

Cons

* No advancement opportunities * Short notice of change and no time to prepare * Selective accountability * Poor compensation, not up with the rest of the market, good benefits, but poor salary

Pros

The medical benefits are pretty decent becuase you only have to work 20 hours a week, and the package is cheap. They are raising rates this year though. They also allow you to have a flexible schedule if you are a student, or just want to work part time, but they are starting to change that rule and make employees be available a certain number of hours per week.

Cons

The incompetence of the store manager is really wearing on all the employees. I think the DIstrict Managers should watch over stores more, and realize that the store managers lie and cover their tracks, while making the employees lives a living hell!

Pros

Starbucks really does have good benefits and I'm proud to work for a company that offers medical coverage to part-time employees.

Cons

If you aren't part of the "in group" in my department, you'll never get the stretch assignments or growth opportunities. It wasn't that way until about three years ago. There was a time when you were judged on your talent, skills and performance. Now, you're judged on if the sorority votes you in.
