"Starbucks is DRAMA."

What do you like about working at Starbucks?

"The customers."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you have other options, don't apply to Starbucks."

What don't you like about working at Starbucks?

"This is not a People First Company like they stress to their partners. Higher management should have higher degrees in order to run the business successfully. Not a barista who works his way to DM because he has friends in the company and has no life or management skills."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"You need to hire managers that are EDUCATED. The people that are hired act like they are in high school."

"The Siren is heading for the rest home."

What do you like about working at Starbucks?

"Great quality product and a clear brand leader."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Stay positive, share excitement for the brand and team work."

What don't you like about working at Starbucks?

"Remember Starbucks is a quick serve coffee (QSR) restaurant that is mostly vertically integrated. Not much opportunity for personal growth. Executive and senior leadership lacks basic skills, strategic acumen, leadership, and talent."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Reset the executive team or sell to a leading brand such as P&G, Pepsi, Coke, et al. Other possible solutions since innovations appears to be unimportant: spin off restaurants to proven restaurant operator or sell off to major franchises in US and globally, extend long term contracts for dairy in US, license off CPG and foodservice units to top 10 players, contract for manufacturing, outsource IT, and retain small team to manage brand and IP compliance. Collect money."
