Starbucks

I was told my positive vibe made someones day better while giving them coffee. I guess there day started off on the wrong foot so i tried to help them with the only way i knew, positivity.

I thoroughly enjoyed working at Starbucks because of the atmosphere my coworkers and shift leads created. However, I struggled with management, as did all of my coworkers. The turn over rate was extraordinary, and I felt as though my time was not respected. At the time, I was a full-time student working part time. The job itself - making drinks, interacting with regular customers, etc - was amazing, and something I miss. If management and company empathy were improved, I could imagine this being an ideal work environment.

I have had the most great memories with my partners and the customer connections that i create with everyone that goes there.

Considering that it is a fast beverage/food store it was relatively un-stressful for me and the duration of my time there. My manager did a fantastic job curating the partners who worked there and they were all lovely. I cannot speak for other locations but the Bothell location was amazing and I wish I never had to leave. (i moved)

Fun place to work, room to move up. Get to learn about coffee. Theybeven have a program called coffee master in which you takr a deep dive into tue origins of coffee and it's growth. You learn to taste it and teach how to taste. Culture is very progressive so if you like that there you go.

Tenured employee, over 16 years of service. The DM does not take the time to develop and offer an apportunity for growth. They do not care about you even tought "empathy" is one of the behaviors they teach us to use. No chance of growth, they promote only if you're in their clique. Very desapointed as previously this was not who they were.

Worked at starbucks for 3 years. Enjoyed most of time there but only because of the workers, customers, and the work life balance. Besides that low pay, and no career advancement opportunity.

You get to know new people every day and they become your regular customers who you for real care about. have the opportunity to grow in the company.

I had very bad experience with the shift manager and the branch manager of the branch. I had mental harassment in regards to time, ten minutes break, punching time etc I had Asked for transfer, was denied for no reason, just because I was delayed by 15 minutes due to very bad weather connection. If I said anything, I was Huss up. Was not given scope to place my point of view. Only I was supposed to listen to them. I don’t know what more to say!!

Had me steadily growing and climbing. Feel like I would work my entire career at Starbucks since first day. Always great moments. Help keep my family healthy.

I worked as a student manager at a licensed store run by Miami University. I had a lot of fun working there and with hard work was able to move up in positions pretty fast. As I moved up the pay did not seem to equal the amount of work I was putting in and since I was a student at the time I did not receive the respect I thought I deserved. I was only able to work a certain amount of hours and did not receive any of the benefits give in the corporate stores. Because of this I ended up leaving the job.

I had entered a new job site with the hopes to progress what I had left behind for a year. I had focused that year in a large Lowe's warehouse in which I could greatly improve my customer service. I managed to deal with customer service and get to know the local staff. A mention of weekend team seemed like the perfect fit a conversation I had mentioned through word of mouth to my supervisor. Starbucks had just been posted on Google local available recruiter's postings and my previous Serv Safe Certificate had me feeling like yes, this could be just what I needed to accumulate more hours. I wasn't sure who I'd be meeting this time around, I had just passed by Lowe's Home Improvement for the discussions involving hours I was to aquire soon at Starbucks. So one thing led to another and this time around mention of attire displeased the supervisor and she began to discriminate. I left Lowe's for Starbucks and somehow was told my year waiting around was easily predictable.

The benefits were terrific I was with them for 19 yrs, let go my 4th day back from an emergency medical issue The pandemic made them realize- but too late on the game how hard the rest of staff worked - short on staff, product and upsetting the staff & customers - product shortage was very frustrating for all You can have a fun time - but be prepared to work hard & multitask I have made lifetime friends and learned a lot of life lessons

I loved working for Starbucks however the pay is for but management works with you on your schedule. The only issue I find with Starbucks is that they do not train their management staff and what they call their shift supervisors properly. Starbucks needs to learn to send their managers and their shift supervisors for training in human resources and how to treat people right. Not all but some of the management staff needs extreme training and how to deal with people and customers.

Working for Starbuck’s was one of the most memorable jobs (next to Disney) I have ever worked. It turned out to be not only a great place to learn about coffee and all the hand crafted espresso beverages, but also a really nice “networking engine” for me as I acquired two other job positions through people who were my “Starbuck’s neighbors”.

Starbucks was a wonderful company in the beginning however after almost 2 years I ended up working with people who were sexually obsessed with customers and co workers and the upper management was filled with people who will do anything for favors and attack other employees lively hood.

Working as a barista for 3 years was a great experience. Not only do you make delicious drinks but you get to meet so many people. Some of my favorites, everyone that worked and lived near by , and Nigel Barker during fashion week !

As a shift, it is very intresting. I am one of the leads who's responsible for our baristas, connecting with customers, and communicating with our manager.

Starbucks pays poorly, doesn’t support their baristas and overworks their supervisors. Everything depends on how good your store manager is and if they don’t care about you, your life is a living hell. Inconsistent hours, inconsistent support and you can never count on them to communicate with you. Too corporate and too obsessed with the customers.

I enjoyed working at Starbucks. I made amazing friends there and enjoyed my time working at Starbucks. I had a great time working for Starbucks.

the typical work environment varies because the largest 2 factors are your fellow employees and the amount of customer traffic your store has.

Job was eliminated due to store closure because of pandemic. No loyalty after 14 years of service and dedication. This left a bad taste in my mouth.

Starbucks is a great company! Part time employees that work a minimum of 20 hours a week receive full benefits and paid tuition. You receive support and even free therapy sessions.

Overworked, underpaid, and they’ll replace you in a heartbeat. Customers stay mad if you’re understaffed or not moving quick enough. Literally had to have hip surgery from the repetitiveness of the job and workload.

This job and your happiness purely depends on who your manager is and whom your shift leaders are. Its that simple my life was great until they changed management and when I got a phone call from the hospital saying my brother was dying I asked my then manager if I could leave to go to the hospital he looked me in my tear soaked face and said "Your brother has nothing to do with your job" and that I needed to go back to work. After working 17 hour shifts during the pandemic to help the company as much as I could I decided it was time to leave.
