Review from Operations Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Take the time to development their teams. Reevaluate those put in management roles. Just because they can speak Starbucks doesn't mean they are worthy. Actually look through the lens of humanity. Everything you decide affects our livelihoods not just the company's bottom line.
Review from Operations Dept
Showing fairness to all baristas
Review from Operations Dept
The leadership at Starbucks is no longer genuine it now just does whatever it thinks will help sales and does not try to help the hourly people. Go back to putting people first
Review from Operations Dept
Keeping supplies stocked, maintaining sanitation

Corporate is constantly cutting labor in stores, which hurts both partner wellbeing and customer service and satisfaction. In addition to these labor cuts, new, extremely time consuming drinks are frequently added to the menu, exacerbating staffing issues.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Human Resources has taken over the company and does little to no work except create additional work for others
Review from Operations Dept
I don't think anything really needs to change right now to make company culture better. Starbucks is doing a wonderful job right now in making the culture better for partners and customers.
Review from Operations Dept
Trying to save on labor costs is the root of the majority of problems on a store level. We would achieve so much more if we were given the means to support the demands
Review from Operations Dept
More staffing during peak periods. Do not think to change the deployment and get the same results. Have more understanding when we can not meet our goals. Do not threaten your partners with write ups and just help them out.

Accountability, pathways to personal growth, have productive meetings.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The job pays very little when weighed against the fast pace and high stress environment.
Review from Operations Dept
Everything has turned into implementation vs true leadership and the constant pointless Human Resources investigations that seem to be happen all to most everyone just slows everything down.
Review from Operations Dept
Stores are understaffed, when they don't need to be. This needs to stop.
Review from Operations Dept
Treat temp workers better and have less temp workers, more permanent workers overall. Instruct trainers to stop going on power trips and policing/nit-picking the work of employees that they aren't even training. Stop being so strict about conversations/subject matter in a warehouse environment.

Managers and corporate simply do not care about workers. They care about bottom line profits.
