Pros

The partners are fun, often times they are the reason one goes to work. Some stores have a great community feel where your customers feel like part of an extended family.

Cons

Inadequate compensation for the amount of work the job entails. Simply impossible to have things 100% or even 75% to company standard. Constantly reminded that if something goes wrong you will be written up or terminated. Personal vendettas have held people back from moving up in the company despite their qualifications.

Pros

Positive work environment Working for a company that obviously cares about its people (medical/dental insurance) Connected to community through regular customers and service projects High stress Early openings/late closings (flexible work schedules)

Cons

High stress (not everyone likes that) Early openings/late closings (another double-edged sword) Manning is kept at an absolute minimum. You are always pushing to get everything done.

Pros

Money is always good, but the customers can be rude. I get free water? And cake pops. But I don't really like cake pops.

Cons

The customers are always in my face about what they hate about their life and why my job at starbucks is to make their life better. LOSER.
