Pros
If you love Starbucks (not just coffee, specifically Starbucks) then I would highly recommend this as a possible long-term career path. Otherwise, it works great as a second job or just as short-term income while you get through school/figuring your life out. Benefits for entry level service/retail is really hard to beat and they have fantastic stock programs as well as 100% covered tuition for your first Bachelor’s degree.
Cons
The pay is great, but if you’re not careful about the amount of time you spend here, you could end up with a golden handcuff situation where you’re really tired of the job but you can’t go anywhere else within retail or service without taking a big pay cut. The only way in many markets to get almost full time hours, (they don’t all work the same, this is just my experience) is to have full availability and basically say goodbye to having any kind of routine. That could just be a cyclical thing but generally the more flexible you are with your schedule, the more hours you’ll tend to get. Especially as a new hire because a lot of the time we hire to replace or fill in for a day part that none of the preexisting employees were available to take on.
