      Pros

      Lots of opportunity and leadership empowers those who want it. Team culture is generally very cohesive.

      Cons

      Talent needs to be more diligently selected and or developed. It is a very relationship heavy organization. Difficult to influence change because it is a consensus driven organization.

      Pros

      Company moves quickly to stay relevant in their space. Great people to work with across the board. A refreshing change from some of the other more political and cut throat companies. Often times the culture of retailers is for corporate employees to look down on the field and not want to spend time in stores. Not the case at Starbucks where putting on a green apron is a badge of honor that even execs take seriously. Starbucks also puts their money where their mouth is when it comes to community service. While they don't brag enough about the work they do, it is happening daily.

      Cons

      The pace can be challenging to keep up with, especially in the field. If you have the privilege of working in the shadow of the SSC, be prepared for a different level of scrutiny. Not necessarily a bad thing, but worth of noting that this can be even more challenging with the pace of change.
