Starbucks Employer Reviews

A typical day at work would be very busy from my peers coming from class or just socializing in the game room which was adjacent to Starbucks. I'm very familar with working under big crowds and a fast enviornment so no matter how many people would come to purchase coffee I'd always keep composure and get the job done.

My opening work and ending work depended on what time I came in. I worked various shifts. I was usually working as a cashier. Sometimes I worked preparing food and beverages. Sometimes I restocked. Assisted with opening and closing duties. Washed dishes, etc. I learned how to make new food and beverages. I worked with a variety of different types of – more... people. Learned flexibility. The management was great and I can't say a single bad thing about them. Great training and communication skills. Excellent positive reinforcement. My coworkers were very nice and fun to work with. The hardest part is the speed in which things needed to be done. The most enjoyable part was helping people and working as a team with my coworkers. – less

A fast-paced job with work days that seem to breeze right by, a great job for anyone to have.

High quality is expected at Starbucks. Quality in beverages and service is expected. Interesting to interact with customers through out the day.

If you're not looking to make a career of it, it's a great place to work. Management is typical. Its a fun 9-5.

Starbucks is all about improving the lives of their customers one drink at a time. They emphasize creating human connections so that their customers see Starbucks as a safe haven, a home away from home. The best part about working for Starbucks is the valuable time you get to spend with each person that walks through the door, if your encounter is successful, – more... you are filled with joy and so is the customer. Drink making is the hardest part about working here, as there are many recipes that need to be memorized and then recreated in reality at a very fast pace. What I learned at Starbucks is that Starbuck's success is build around relationships, and not so much the Coffee itself. – less

A typical day involved assisting customers, ensuring the store policies (cleanliness, drink making, cash handling, and retail promoting) are upheld, providing a positive work environment for partners (fellow employees).

A lot was learned about organization, task priority, and cash handling.

Management and promotions seemed to be more about how long – more... an individual was there and age related positioning, not about actual work contribution.

Co-workers who performed well were frequently taken advantage of and asked to perform tasks outside their position. Those who did not perform well were almost never reprimanded by management, who would sweep issues aside that supervisors brought to her.

The hardest part of the job is assisting unruly customers and having to compensate for the shortcomings of others.

The most enjoyable part of the job is assisting customers who are respectful and giving them exactly what they want. – less

a typical day at work was very busy. i really enjoyed working there. it was fun and loved getting to know our regulars. i loved putting a smile on our guest faces.

Loved working at Starbucks and was very sad to quit to take another position. Starbucks is a great company to work for.

Enjoyed the time here at Mc donalds, wasnt really a job for me just did it because i needed the money. the managers were really mean and unprofessional.

I absolutely love this job! My management and coworkers are great, and so are most of the customers I deal with every day.

Excellent company to work for. Very friendly and great benefits. Love the free coffee

Is a nice enviroment. Good place for students looking for a part time

Working at Starbucks allowed me to work on a part time basis when I needed to also be at home.

A little background of this particular Starbucks, it is on a school campus, therefore all employees are managed by the school. Student workers earn no vacation, benefits, etc.

A typical day at work was fine, until the next day when the management would be upset that we did not do what we were supposed to. What a night crew was supposed to do, that – more... was not done, is unidentifiable considering there were no notes left, or any clues to know what should be done the following night.

The hardest part of this job was knowing exactly what was supposed to be done by everyone on the shift. There was not enough communication at this job.

The most enjoyable part of this job was the other employees in which , I shared my shifts with. My co-workers were the best part of this job. – less

set up bakery display. put out sandwich/lunch offerings. brew coffee, prepare espresso and tea beverages

I didn't see much room for growth potential. I got into some drama with a local DM and SM and any chances of moving up or moving out were squashed. Starbucks seemed like a nice place to work for, though. Definitely gay friendly with benefits for partners' partners.

I was usually put into opening shift, which meant waking up at 4 in the morning to get ready to go to work by 5. That was the only bad part about the job in addition to the occasional cranky, unfriendly customer. Working at Starbucks really was a pleasant experience, and they offered wonderful benefits and discounts even though many of us only worked – more... part time. I really enjoyed my time there, and only left because I was offered a job that paid a lot more that was related to my major. – less

Starbucks was one of the best companies I've ever had the pleasure of working for. You have a lot of opportunity to advance in this company and everyone is treated equally by all upper management. Starbucks provides a lot of opportunity to grow and resolve daily challenges and has an excellent training program.
