"Compared to other companies, I am pleased with my pay. If I were to begin the process of moving up, the compensation would also increase in a reasonable way. Compared to other "fast food" or coffee shops, I'd say my pay and benefits are beyond anything they could offer me. 401k, stock, health, workers compensation, and more are available to any part-time or full-time worker - something most companies cannot say they have."

"Starbucks is a difficult company when it comes to pay. I think they believe they can pay less because they offer their partners so many benefits. However, being newly graduated, $9.87 doesn't keep me afloat very much. I just wish as a company, Starbucks would look at your background and apply any raises or bonuses based on that."

"The pay at Starbucks as a Barista begins as minimum wage, but there are many perks which make the job worthwhile. There are stock incentives, the company pays for their partners to further their education as far as a bachelor’s degree, and there are yearly raises. As a Barista Trainer, each time one gets to train a new hire, there is a $50 bonus along with the opportunity to teach and help develop another individual."
