Starbucks – This company is missing a genuinely positive customer experience of yesteryear. Now, the interaction I have with baristas is inauthentic and homogenized with a fake "what's your name" cliche. This place used to be my "third place", and now I actively avoid going there if I have no alternatives.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

7 years and the company has had many ups and downs. High expectations for low hourly wages. Easy to promote within if you are motivated to do so. Semi-hard labor (physically and mentally taxing at times; always standing/moving/talking; messy). Transfers available all over the U.S.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Absolutely horrible . I'll never work for Starbucks, or buy any of their products again. I was harassed, bullied, and talked down to by management and only ever made enough money to barely pay the bills. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
