Yeah it's a good company to develop your skills and knowledge. Very good work environment.

Dislikes

There is a lot of politics and the management doesn't address our issues. Salary of a barista ( 10.5k) has not been changed for last 6-7 years. Career growth will be very slow.

I enjoy working at Starbucks because it has helped me develop my leadership and customer service skills. Managing a team during peak hours and ensuring excellent customer experiences has been a great learning opportunity. The fast-paced environment keeps me motivated, and I appreciate the company's focus on quality and teamwork. Additionally, I’ve had the chance to enhance my knowledge of coffee and improve my problem-solving abilities."

Dislikes

While I appreciate the learning opportunities and experience I’ve gained at Starbucks, I feel that the salary growth and career progression are quite slow. Despite working hard and taking on responsibilities, the promotion process takes time, which affects motivation. I’m looking for a role where I can grow faster, both in terms of position and financial stability

Dislikes

Company has become more focused on Store Management Trainee's who are externally hired because of their IHM degree who are not even pass in their subjects and they get outlets to handle beside having an ASM sitting on bench with culture experience and diversified performance. They have become less employee (partner) oriented after Lockdown is over. Their only focus is on expanding and cost cutting. It doesn't effect them that their employees are getting drained in this process.
