Pros

good benefits, flexible hours, easy to move from one starbucks location to another, and easy to return to the sbux family

Cons

you will work very very very hard at the busy locations. I'm not so sure about the slow locations, but the busy ones are stressful and intense. I worked in one with two floors and it meant that there was a lot of running up and down stairs. Lots of physical endurance is needed! Also you really aren't paid much, and it's not a great resume builder. Only good as a first job gig.

Pros

job security, store morale fun, respect. Guiding principles and missions of sbux

Cons

experiences are very different depending on your store manager. Starbucks sets the guidelines and expectations but you have to answer to your store manager on a daily basis and preform to your current store managers expectations. This means depending on your manager you may feel obligated to take home work to complete during your time off in order to keep your manger satiisfied with your perfomance. Other managers highly enforce time work is time paid and work life balance
