What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The relationship between the employees that show up and work hard everyday in the face of adversity

What are some of the best things about your team?

My coworkers work hard and uphold Starbucks values everyday, even if it means getting assaulted by customers, staying 2 hours past close, or working short staffed.

What did you like most about the interview process?

It was short and sweet because they desperately needed staff. No one was willing to stay and work under the conditions Starbucks put them under due to covid.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Invest in the store that exist. Invest in the employees that are already there. Stop trying to expand and increase profit margins instead of paying us what we are worth.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The handling of the unionization effort is destroying the companies reputation. They need to reevaluate how they are handling it or they will no longer be the progressive company they claim to be.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

We are expected to work through conditions that affect us mentally and physically yet we do not make a living wage. Our hours are subject to get cut down if our store isn't hitting huge profit margins. We are expected to have outstanding customer service for less than a living wage.
