      Great opportunity to learn if work/ life balance is not crucial

      Retail store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company provides excellent health benefits and there are some wonderfully passionate people to work with there. Starbucks provides a great learning opportunity for people with little or no experience who want to become store managers. For highly motivated individuals there are good opportunities working for this company. The company has a strong training program for newly hired partners at all levels.

      Cons

      Although Work/ life balance is talked about it does not seem to be realistic with constraints of working in the state of CA. It is often challenging to connect with all partners and customers while completing all the required tasks assigned in the a rapidly changing retail enviroment.

      Starbucks

      Communications specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      To get a respected name on your resume. Tough out the endless political infighting. Ignore the blatant incompetence. Subdue your desire to affect any actual change and reap the rewards later in your career. Face it. People like Starbucks. No matter how ridiculous upper management it.

      Cons

      For a company so young it's amazing the amount of bureaucracy that has already built up. If you want to actually achieve anything, avoid this Seattle bureaucratic downturning company. Also, the magnitude of the missteps of capitol investments that have been made is significant.
