What Starbucks employees say about their job
-
Best thing
Benefits are good and the pay is hard to beat for a retail position
Worst thing
Employee morale is low company wide, corporate makes decisions against partner best interests to cut costs.
Employee at Starbucks, June 2025

Best thing
The team I work with. My baristas make it worth it, if it weren’t for them I would’ve had a major breakdown already.
Worst thing
Management. All the higherups who don’t understand what it’s like being at the bottom. Starbucks made over $60 billion in profits last year. They seem to keep getting greedier each year. They continue to lower the amount of hours and continue to shame all the partners. We’re just a number to them
