Pros
If you love coffee, they offer decent training (depending on your Manager) and flexible scheduling. If you are a student or single parent, the benefits (available even for part-timers) are an added benefit. Most of the people working with you are very helpful and friendly.
Cons
Customers can be rude and condescending, food service industry work can be demeaning. Some stores are open 24 hours, so you may work late night / overnight or early morning shifts. Health benefits are not that great (most have capped pay outs). Wearing the "green apron" and SBUX baseball cap is supposed to be something of pride, but most find it demeaning.
