Current Employee – been working at Starbucks full-time
Pros – Great working atmosphere. The position offers the opportunity to better connect with partners and to better share the Starbucks Experience with those partners and customers.
Cons – Sometimes the position can cause a higher level of stress to appear. The stress can be caused by the strong emphasis to extend the Starbucks brand even though store staffing might be at a minimal; which makes things a little more difficult.

Former Employee – worked at Starbucks part-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Coworkers, free coffee, benefits package (401k, medical, vision, dental, stock options).
Cons – Upper management, limited opportunity for advancement.
Advice to Senior Management – Promote from within. There is nothing more infuriating than having an outside hire that cant effectively run a shift, remember drink recipes, or man the espresso bar during peak business hours. I know several quality employees who left due to empty promises of promotion, only to see externals brought in as management.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
