July 2017 • Blue Ash, OH

What I liked

This job offered me flexible hours, a friendly work environment and an opportunity to grow in my ability to work well with others professionally as well as in a customer service environment.

What I wish was different

N/A

Advice

This job can be overwhelming at first because of Starbuck's extensive menu but you pick up on things over the first few months and even as a part time employee you are offered great discounts and benefits like a 401K. I think is a great side job to keep for some extra cash over the summer as well as while in school.

Really flexible schedule and good benefits!

What I wish was different

I wish the job was less repetitive and that I could have the potential to make more than I do.

Advice

Don't think too hard about it; Starbucks is a get in get out job where you just want the paycheck.

Starbucks Barista Trainer

September 2017 • Westminster, CO

What I liked

I liked that I got to work with kind people. Also, the fast pace environment is sometimes exhilarating.

What I wish was different

My managers scheduling was often very tiring. Meaning some of us were scheduled to close but we’d have to wake up at 5:30 to get to work by 6:30 the next morning.

Advice

It’s a hard job, and it will seem too tough in the first month. Don’t give up and push through. The perks are too good to give up.

What I liked

I love starbucks as I have been a partner for more than 7 years.

What I wish was different

I am still an ongoing employee.

Advice

Business and formal education is so important but learning about people is equally as important. I have been able to share such an experience with so many people and learn so much about the world at the many stores that I have worked for. I have seen people from all qalks of life and getting to know them has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. Pay attention to that, that's my advice.
