Starbucks Employer Reviews

Thoroughly enjoyed my time as a barista while during my undergrad, because the job was flexible and everyday was a new day with new stories. The people who worked with me were more like an extended family, we worked well as a team and knew when to step up when someone was down. Even our regulars were a member of the Starbucks crew, being able to connect – more... with them on a personal level and giving them a positive start to the day, was always one of my favourite parts of the job.

All in all, it was so great to work for a company who instilled a fun third place environment, not just for the customers but for it's employees. – less

-Starbucks is a very great place to work at
-It offers many great things to both its customers and employees
Starbucks Management is Great and so is the environment
-the most enjoyable part of the job is working and helping the customers get what they want at the right time and working with great attitude
-the hardest part of the job would be when customers – more... behave badly, but I can take care of it by calming the customers down – less

Overall, they are a very up-beat, positive, gender-friendly balanced company to work for. You can move-up in the company very quickly, but only if you live in a larger market area, and or near the regional-head offices. they do offer exceptionally good-quality training and benifits, of which I took advantage during my time working there.

-learned a lot about customer service and enjoyed this aspect of the job the most
-co-workers very dependable
-management fun to work with
-typical day involving cash work, making drinkings, drive-thru, handing out samples, cleaning duties

Fun place to work with great staff. Great regulars and conversations. You can have fun on the job as long as you can multi-task. The management is good the boss is friendly and happy. I have learned that you can meet amazing people that soon cross the line of customer and become friends. The hardest part of the job is remembering all the drinks that – more... you have to make. The co workers are friendly and willing to help should you need it and always making you feel welcome. the most enjoyable part of the job as I said before is the customers that you get to know and can call friends. – less

The co workers are great, the management is very organized.

This was the coolest job I have ever had. I supported the VP of Marketing. Our group was responsible for the design and implementation of Starbucks seasonal campaigns throughout North America.

Nice partners, get costumers and a fun environment! it is a little small, time goes by very quickly.

Working in Starbucks is a constant learning for me. Here i learned to be responsible and accountable in everything i do. I had the chance to show my capabilities and be a good example to my co workers. I am always looking forward to work everyday and be their shift manager.

Advancement within the company is achievable in timely manner when you prove yourself to be qualified for the position.
Learned about being organized and to use time sensitively.
Conducting training and coaching partners to improve themselves and for myself to advance ahead
Always get to interact with customers and able to relate and get to know some – more... in personal level
Eventhough most of the time shifts starts at 530 am it is a fun environment just not very well suited for anybody with family who has opposite schedule or not have the access to have a daycare available 24 hours.
Having the chance to work at different locations with different management it definitely shows how to be able to adjust to individual partneres working with you – less

Started at 5a.m. I was able to chose my hours as they really identified what worked for their employees
Connected with another staff memeber at 5am, opened that start of the day with cash flow and setting up for success of the day.
Checked and maintained all bakery and fridge set up.
Made sure all qualifications for set up were met before opening doors – more... to customers – less

I always worked from 2-10 every day. I didn't mind but getting a day off was the worse thing ever, just because my boss picked favourites. Almost every single worker there was lazy to the point where I did ALL the work (even my supervisor didn't really help). I wasted 8 months with this company.

Fast paced, lots of stuff to be doing. Always meeting new people and interacting with returning customers.

A great place to work. The only drawbacks are your usual customer service issues, other than that it is an excellent company to work for.

Starbucks is a wonderful company to work for. The culture is awesome. Everyone is there for coffee. What's better? I've had 5 great teams in 5 great stores and have be able to work my way up the ranks of management. If you can engage your customers and partners your experience at Starbucks will be World-Class.

Starbucks is a very memorable and awesome place to work. It also looks great on a resume.

I enjoyed working here because of the great people you work with and getting involved with the customers and making there day. All it takes is a quick conversation and a great coffee and that's what Starbucks was all about connecting and building a positive environment.

The company really focuses on creating a great experience for their employees as well as for their customer. Great place to develop your management skills

My typical day at Starbucks would consist of serving customers in a friendly manner and creating inspired moments. I have learned how to handle difficult customers and how to multi-task to the best of my ability. My co-workers are all great people who are constantly giving me positive feed back or encouraging me. The hardest part of my job would be – more... trying to maintain proper customer service through out the whole shift even during a busy rush. The most enjoyable part of the job would be making drinks in busy rushes. The managment at Starbucks is highly professional and inspiring. – less
