      Starbucks corporate office review.

      Pros

      Depending on your manager, good work-life balance. In a systems job, you have plenty of opportunity to work remotely.

      Cons

      Career advancement based on who you know versus job productivity and expertise. Career development is non-existent. Company does not pay close to market rates. External hire will probably take a position level hit when coming to Starbucks. For example, if you are a manager at your current job, then you will probably start in a senior-level position at Starbucks.

      Pros

      Free Coffee!!! People are fun to work with. Brand Recognition.

      Cons

      Highest performance rating, lowest pay increase...need I say more? Limited work/life balance Systems were lacking as far as having things in place to obtain data, analyze necessary data, etc. Parking in Seattle is nearly impossible unless you get to work super early. Otherwise there is a lot that is past the train tracks but you must take a shuttle and if you get caught by the train - significant delays. The waiting list to get into the parking garage onsite is never ending. I was there for 2 years and was still #300+.
