There are a ton more benefits than Spotify. I’d rather keep those.

Benefits 100%. I would not have made if very far without the health insurance and tuition reimbursement! Things like Spotify are an extra plus! I’ve found that a lot of people who aren’t taking advantage of the benefits find working somewhere else for higher pay a lot more attractive.

100% pay.

I don’t use any of the benefits other than my weekly bean mark-out and my discount. The benefits are useless to me in my current position, so I’d rather not be making a shit wage.

All you gotta do if you want more pay is to go to Target. But beware, the night is dark and full of terrors.

benefits 110%. i dont even use spotify nor is that the only benefit, but if it werent for ASU i wouldve dropped out of college because i cant afford it and getting a degree is so important to me. and ive literally never had health insurance my entire life so like.....ive been able to go to the doctors for the first time in like 12 years so im not giving that up lol

I think younger people like non-asu college students and teens who live at home only see the Spotify as a benefit but the health insurance is decent and most adults need it. Unless you're on your spouse's insurance, you need to pay for your own. They spend a ton on ASU which I'm not personally using, but I respect that investment. Will all of us use it? No, but it's a respectable optional benefit since bachelor's are so valuable and expensive

Benefits mostly for the schooling. I’m taking advantage of ASU and I actually feel like I’m working towards something.

Pay.

Higher pay

Both, honestly, but let me explain.


Where I live, and in my store, basically nobody makes full time hours except SM and ASM as far as I can tell. I have coworkers who work 3 jobs just to stay afloat (I live in a high COL city.) We baristas make minimum wage, and on average, I make little enough that I qualify for Medi-Cal, my state's version of Medicare.


So the myriad benefits are nice, but the hours are so irregular (both hours worked per week and start/finish times) and the pay is so low that I can't even fathom having a second job. If we got paid a bit more so that I'd have more of a reason to pay for the Starbucks health insurance, I'd be happier and feel better-compensated. I have a college degree, so I can't take advantage of the ASU program, and IDGAF about like 90% of the ten billion other assorted corporate discounts (Skechers, anyone?) that I don't use. If Sbucks had a program like McDonald's, where you get half off your orders under a certain amount, I wouldn't mind making up the difference in a couple bucks' hourly pay. It would also make insurance easier to pay for and more worthwhile for me for the cost.
