Pros

Excellent and affordable benefits, good discount. At its basic level, a fun job.

Cons

Lower pay than similar jobs in similar food service/retail companies, they promote work/life balance but continuously add more work without giving you the hours to do it, expect perfection.

Pros

Medical, Dentel, Vision If you work 20 hours per week.

Cons

It hard work. If you like scrubbing floors on you hands and knees, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning the inside of trash cans, and scrubbing drains, than this is a good job for you. They work you like a dog, for every night I leave I am exhausted and sweating. And, the pay is so low 7.50 starting in my area. Also, they will write you up for almost everything, I once written up for going 2 minutes over on my 10.

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.
