Pros

Can be fun to interact with customers, jam to music, make drinks and clean the world. Good benefits if you can make the hours repeatedly over the quarter.

Cons

high presser and if you have young people on the staff that don't know how to handle it - drama ensues. Bad managers make it unbearable. I've had one follow me to the restroom and say he timed how long the water was on, he also threatened to fire someone every shift. The entire store complained about it to the district but they just told him we were complaining and he came down harder.

Pros

Starbucks offers a fantastic benefits package to its employees including a 401k plan, stock options, medical, vision, dental and life insurance all at minimal cost. The pay inst pad, and you receive tips that are split among the employees. Promotions are extremely easy to obtain...all one needs to to is speak to their manager and make a development plan and stick to it.

Cons

Working at a busy location can be a bummer because you are paid the same to work twice as hard. Early Hours (you have to be awake before all of the people that have to be awake early are awake so they can get their coffee)
