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.

    5.7

    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

  • Best thing

    Learning how to craft happy beverages
    Warm expressions (salutations) with customers and coworkers

    Worst thing

    The lack in knowing a what a good leader is vs. what a boss is (mind blowing)
    The extreme loopholes one has to jump through to grow within the company. The company, for the most part, hires from the outside for leadership rather than looking at internal talent

  • Best thing

    My coworkers are great, I love my perks and benefits, it’s easy to take time off

    7.1

    Barista at Starbucks, May 2025

  • Best thing

    other partners are always super sweet and kind. depending on the store, managers are great at what they do and they’re sweet. customers are usually really nice but there’s always at least one person that’s not but it’s not a big deal

    Worst thing

    starbucks as a whole is stressful and has strict guidelines. it’ll very from store to store but most of them suck most stores are dirty and aren’t maintained. back of houses stink and there’s always mold somewhere. there’s bugs EVERYWHERE especially during the summer. if you’re early you’re on time, if you’re on time you’re late, and if you’re late don’t even bother showing up. i got a coaching for being one minute late clocking in (not exaggerating wish i was) but i was in the building 3 minutes early.

    Barista at Starbucks, April 2025

  • Best thing

    If everyone does their part, the job can be really fun and a manageable amount of work.

    Worst thing

    No accountability. If managers dont do their jobs, its the staff held responsible for failures. They overwork good staff to hide mistakes in scheduling and bad policies. No incentives to perform well, no performance-based raises, no help or encouragement to move up. When applying to move up, no feedback when denied.
