Starbucks reviews

-Corporate likes to make rules about store operations with seemingly very very little insight, if any, into what it's like during peak or even during slow times. -If you're a barista and you're good at your job, they will pressure you to become a shift. It's not worth it. -Management structure somehow passes the buck all the way down to these shift leads. It stops with them. I worked in multiple stores in 4 regions in 3 states. This is not a unique issue. It's company wide. The stress and pressure is always felt more at the bottom. Half of your baristas won't care, this is just a school/summer job, no responsibility. They'll just walk off the floor because they know grocery stores start at 13/hr. But for a shift, the stakes are obviously much higher. They do feel that pressure coming down from ASM and SM (not to say they don't feel stress; I'm just saying the weight of Starbucks Coffee Company is carried on the backs of two groups: 1) underpaid shift leads and 2) underpaid farmers.)

Company is very political on the left.
