- I have no desire to progress in my career at Starbucks because I’m sick of their corporate bullshit and illegal union busting

- I would reconsider if I saw them cut back on the corporate bullshit and illegal union busting

Initially I wanted to! I would have loved to go to ASU and then apply for corporate headquarters. I was even scheduling meeting with SCAP counselors to finish up the last steps. however, this stopped. Working at Starbucks just isn’t worth it anymore, I’d rather go to a pricery university than go to school for free w/ Starbucks. I’m so tired and done with understaffing, ineffective and lazy managers, timid shifts, and baristas who were never properly trained.

The only thing would make me want to continue my career and come back since I just put in my two weeks would be an instant pay bump to 20$ an hour, better staffing, retraining of all shifts and baristas, actual time to train new baristas, restructuring of customer connections metrics, and stopping coporate with the “we care about partners BS” their words and actions contradict each other

I do want to (Marketing) my distinct manager said it was very much possible. I saw her LinkedIn and saw she was able to go from barista to district manager in a good amount of time. I think that going up to marketing from barista/SSV isn’t because it’s progressing within the same sorta area so you can grow on what you know type of thing. I think sbuxs should have more open conversations about career progression

I do.
I’m looking at finishing my degree and then transitioning into partner relations or data analytics, whichever one I’m able to cross into. I love Starbucks as a company, and look forward to what the future holds. ❤️

I’d feel better about progressing into ASM/SM/DM if the salary wasn’t as black and white or secretive. I’d like to know what I would make as an ASM before approaching the conversations about it (same with seeing as ASM is a temp role).
