Pros
-Very flexible schedule -Great benefits -Tips and good pay -Fun and fast paced -Social interaction with partners and customers encouraged -Informal attitudes with customers - much more conversational -Great opportunities for promotion Essentially, Starbucks is an awesome place to work while you're going to college or just getting started. There's always plenty to learn and, depending on the district, they like to promote from within often.
Cons
-On your feet for the entire shift - get some good shoes! -Rush hours can be VERY stressful -Customers can be ridiculous Sometimes things get VERY busy and if you're short staffed (which happens often), these times can make you want to pull out your hair. Customers can also be a pain in the butt, requesting very specific drinks and demanding a new one if the first is not perfect. Management at the store level can also be unqualified to handle supply orders and manage employees.
