Vantaggi
The people at the Starbucks are nice (my department) the cashiers I hear aren't as much. The part time Harris Teeter benefits are good. Technically we aren't allowed to take tips, or have any free drinks or foods, but as long you're not too obvious about it, management looks the other way.
Svantaggi
Worked to the bone, expected to do 10 billion things at once and fabulously and never take a break. And when the starbucks does have lulls or we don't haggard enough- the rest of store thinks we're not pulling our weight and what us to do other random stuff. And our manger is paid as a starbucks lead, but is a full manager while working as a regular barista, and barley managing with orders and scheduling and the other random maintenance that comes with being a manager. And even if we're drawing, we are basically expressly forbidden to turn off mobile orders.
