Am I the right fit for Starbucks? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by kay_blater99
I have been interested in working at Starbucks for awhile due to their college program. I’ve seen that you don’t even have to be full time, and they also have some other interesting benefits as well. However, I have no prior barista or fast food experience. I know that there is a lot to learn, and it can be very fast paced. Being that I can get very anxious and overwhelmed, I’m wondering if this is a good option for me. I don’t want to take the job just to quit a short period later because I’m awful, ya know? I’m just conflicted on if I should even try I guess. Any advice? Anyone else felt this way?

In terms of having prior experience, you don’t really need any at all! This is my first job and I’ve been here for a little over 3 months and I feel super comfortable doing my job now! In terms of stress, if you’re team is good and supportive you should have no problem

Depends on your ability to handle the stress. Our store gets super busy and they really push keeping drive times down as low as possible. Sometimes I feel like I just toss the drinks out the window at the drive up.

Thank you! I really appreciate you replying.💚
I’m not great at handling stress, but if the team is good, it should help.
How long have you been working there? Are you there for any benefits(not pay)?

Only 2 months and I need both benefits and pay. I have a great team so when peak hits it is crazy, but it all goes well. Also my store doesn't put you in a position to fail. They want you to do well.
