Starbucks: from a Barista's experience
Starbucks Barista (Former Employee), North Vancouver,Vancouver, Canada –
Pros: 30% discount, complimentary beverages, great benefits, engaging managment
Cons: long, early hours, caffeine withdrawal after a shift
Barista's at Starbucks are the partners that work hard to make sure each customer gets a drink that is to the quality standard that Starbucks trains it's partners to achieve.. for each customer. Upon entering Starbucks for a shift, I would begin by ordering myself a complimentary partner beverage and proceed to the back room to chat with co-workers – more...  and drink coffee. Work would begin with a time punch and an "Ok, let's go!" attitude which coffee often contributes to the morning. As a barista I learned to be responsive to the unique shift I was working on any given day. If I was opening, then my responsibilities involved stocking the pastry case and being ready for customer numero uno to arrive directly at 5:30pm. If I was a mid shift, I might have duties beyond that of serving customers coffee and pastries. I might be a pre-closer responsible for cleaning the washrooms, sweeping and mopping the floors, restocking the condiment stands and changing the garbage and the organics. If I was closing barista, then I would be bar-closing, which meant cleaning down the entire machine and work surfaces including the cold beverage station and fridges, and ensuring the espresso was stored for freshness. The diversity of tasks under the job title barista were new to me and I appreciated management greatly in their in depth training. Working alongside other baristas under a Supervisor at Starbucks, I quite enjoyed the interactions we got to have while serving customers and keeping the store running cleanly and efficiently. The hardest part of the job is time management and co-ordination of tasks. I had to make sure that I was accomplishing my tasks throughout the night, and not forgetting them as I served customers as well, so that the store could close on time.The most enjoyable part of working at Starbucks as a barista was the fun interaction with co-workers and regulars as we worked to provide great service to our customers. – less

Shift Supervisor (Current Employee), North Merrick, NY –
Every day was different, but we have an amazing group of workers, amazing customers, and we're always working together. The hardest part of the day comes from early hours, during rush-hour times, with people on their way to work.

Productive and fun work place
Cashier/Barista (Former Employee), Dfw Airport –
A typical day at work was working on the cash register and making drinks for the customers. The management wasn't that good. My co-workers were very fun people to work with. The hardest part of the job was opening up the store and being the only one working for a few hours when its really busy in the morning. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting – more...  new people everyday. – less

Productive and fun place
store assistant manager (Former Employee), London –
- good place to work as starter but not for life
- daily activity with friendly customers but also difficult to deal with customers.
- company providing trainings which is helpful to understand the business but not management level development.
- been working there 10 years, the company has been grow in UK market.
- Highly compatative coffee industry – more...  but, my opinion, there is no chance to grow in UK anymore.
- Company, UK director, mentioned in news paper they are not making money but loss since 2006 in UK Market – less

Nothing beats a good cup of coffee
Customer service (Former Employee), Santa Clara, CA –
Pros: free coffee
Cons: low pay for employees
Starbucks is the first company that I've worked for that is not only consious about the employees, but is also very aware of the environment. During the spring and summer we would save all the coffee grounds for customers to use in their gardens, we recycle every thing and try to reuse the plastic bottles and cans and anything else that can be reused. – more...  Also, instead of throwing away pastries after the day that they were delivered if they were not bought, they are donated to a homeless shelter. – less

Fast paced, team oriented environment
Barista Trainer (Former Employee), San Francisco –
Starbucks is a very fast paced working environments with constant challenges that test the barista. Relationships were easily built between managers and baristas and baristas and baristas due a very strong team oriented atmosphere. As a barista I was expected to know and execute my daily tasks in a proactive manner while following the standards set – more...  by Starbucks procedures. This included ensuring complete customer satisfaction, enjoyable beverages as per Starbucks standards, and constant cleanliness and organization of each work place. – less
