Starbucks reviews

Frequent change of district leadership that comes with frequently changing demands. Managers are expected to complete 40+ hours of management work in 6.5 hours per week. 33.5 hours you'll be deployed as a supervisor or barista. The difference in what you cannot complete in the 6.5 hours will be expected to be complete in unpaid time. They will put you on a performance improvement plan or ask you to step down. They turnover 80% of external hires at the management level. Additionally they use GMO food, cruel animal practises, and the CEO is opposed to raising the federal minimum wage and GMO labeling. When they fire you they will tell your peers that you decided to pursue other opportunities.

Benefits BLOW hard at Starbucks. Its great if you are a partime barista but at the corporate level we have the same exact benefits package that is woefully inadequate for professionals. The healthcare package will run you, for a family of 4 above $300 a month for the best plan, which is a catastrophy...only 80% coverage the rest is on you. Annual raises...forget about it, be happy if you manage to stay ahead of inflation. In most years the average raise is 2.5% Though leadership will present your annual review and raise as if it was a gift from above, just know that your performance has very little bearing on your actually annual compensation adjustment....which leads to the next idea.... If you are the type that wants an OK paycheck, not be challenged too much, and can live with Meet Expectation and a 2% raise Feel free to join Starbucks. People who like to slack and phone it in can have long careers at Starbucks...provided they play nice in the sandbox.
