      Good for learning opportunities, not good for promotional opportunities

      Pros

      Starbucks has a lot of smart people working for them and a family oriented company. They take great lengths to take care of their employees.

      Cons

      Starbucks is a flat organization and there is not a lot of opportunities to get promoted. There is also a lot of passive-aggressive behavior at all levels.

      Pros

      Best place I worked at while pursuing my bachelor's. Not many other places offer the benefits they do for part time workers(avg. 20/hr week), but not the greatest pay in the world. You will probably make more as a server at any average restaurant. Each store can vary on management. I was fortunate to have great managers; however, I did experience some not so great management while taking shifts at other stores. The good thing is that you have the option to transfer if you find yourself in such a position. There is room for advancement, but starting at the Barista level it might be a few years. And if you are looking to corporate, you will probably need a degree.

      Cons

      Pay isn't that great. Sometimes hours can be sparse. The early morning shifts can be a pain , especially if you are not a morning person (4am is morning in this case which is quite early). At least you have all the coffee in the world to keep you awake.

      Pros

      It was a decent job. Good people. Very stressful at times but it was good hours. Good managers and customers.

      Cons

      I felt tired all the time before and after my shift. It was a smelly environment and I got bored.
