Starbucks Careers and Employment

Very fast paced. If one member isn’t working well it really affects the team. So a lot of it depends on the team you work with. It’s minimum wage for a barista and the pay isn’t much higher for a supervisor with more responsibilities.

Great team

Well supported, nice management. Always offered great shifts and flexible approach to working. Nice that you get free drinks on shift too. Only left because I moved away

Fun environment

Fast paced work with a good team of people and mostly lovely customers, this was until we were taken over by a franchise and then things started to go downhill!!

The worst.

Ridiculous management, not enough training and overall a disgusting place to work. Managers lacked communication skills, ineffective leadership and my mental health deteriorated as a result.

Good job.

Good job, great staff. Great training. Hard work, loved making all the variety of drinks and meeting customers. Even if some did order an earl grey. Good wage.

Interview questions

They asked competency questions, so tell us a time when you showed good customer Service, when you had to deal with a difficult situation. They asked my availability and if I'm willing to work weekend and bank holidays. They asked what I think the job entails.

If I was fully flexible? If I knew how to make any of the specialised drinks? If I had any experience working in a hospitality environment? Do I mind the early/late finishes? Do I drive?
