Store Manager at Starbucks
in Bangor, ME

What do you like about working at Starbucks?

"The people, the coffee, the culture and prestige of working for Starbucks."

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

"I would say, that Starbucks (at least in my area) is VERY politically driven. You have to get in tight with the District Manager if you want to go anywhere. If not, or if you have a challenge with an employee, you're locked down. Expect the employees to rule. As a manager your word means very little and your employees can mislead and misguide upper management about you at any time. That's what I would say. It's a great company but it's very politically driven."

What don't you like about working at Starbucks?

"Right now, everything is not so good. I'm not happy here."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Listen to the employees. Not make so many rapid changes without an explanation. Care about the store level, because that is where all of the change really takes place."
