"I have only worked at Starbucks for a couple of months and still feel it is a great place to work. I get along with all my co-workers and manager. The job itself gets easier as you learn the different stations, which seem to be stressful in the beginning but after a short time you get the hang of it and see how much more you can do for everyone in the store, even just taking time to make someone's day."

"I have worked at Starbucks for over four years now during my time in college. It has been great to help me focus on my studies while also working. I was promoted almost two and a half years ago, and it has taught me so much when it comes to leadership, time management skills, and multi-tasking. Everyday I am able to work with amazing people who brighten my day, and I have truly enjoyed my time at Starbucks."
