Pros

- Lots of chances to learn new things - Meet new fun people all the time - work with a lot of cool high energy people who love there jobs - very fast paced and time flies by - you get all the free coffee you want and you are able to experiment with different drink combinations and come up with creations of your own.

Cons

- Training of new baristas is not efficient and organized. - Not everyone holds up there end of the job and often people were late and the management did not do anything. - My new manager was hired from another company into the position when there were plenty of people who have been with Starbucks for years who would have been a better fit for the job.

Could use more labor to effectively do your job Pay could be better Manager relocation is not as easy as it used to be Starbucks used to be all about the customer...we have changed directions to focus mostly on metrics
