Pros
As a tea lover, getting free tea every day was great. My coworkers were absolutely wonderful, everyone was friends. Customers were usually really friendly, I never dealt with an angry customer.
Cons
My store was insanely understaffed and upper management did nothing to help. This resulted in all current employees being over-schedules, which results in a burn out. We were given managerial responsibilities while still only making 9 an hour. The company puts a TON of stress on sales, especially certain merchandise. Encouraged very pushy sales tactics. Starbucks branding has resulted in a lot of fruity sugary nonsense and overly colorful merchandise.
