Non-tenure related raises? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by BreadfruitStrong9006
Has anyone received a non-tenure based raise? I’m an SSV who’s thinking about quitting unless i get a raise. After talking with some baristas about my plans on asking for one, most said that it didn’t work like that at Starbucks….. is this true?

It doesn’t work like that.

To be quite honest, you have to stay with the company for a certain amount of time and if you’re with a non-unionized store, then you’ll get raises along with everyone else during the frame that everyone gets a raise. If your store is a union then you won’t receive increases unless that’s within your policy.

This is not necessarily true for SSVs, whose pay in my experience is more negotiable relative to baristas. It's still definitely not *common* but my impression is that it's more likely to happen to SSVs than baristas

I did, but I had a super supportive manager that appreciated my hard work and hyped me up to the DM who has has to get any non-tenured raises approved by the RD.
Its not impossible but your leadership team needs to notice you made a significant impact on bettering your store. It might be more work than you’d want to put in.

thank you for your insight, it definitely is a lot of work that me nor my manager would be willing to go through.

This is hearsay because I never actually saw paystubs or anything, but a fellow partner shared with me that she agreed to promote to supervisor if she was guaranteed a specific rate that she made at her previous store (in a different state prior to her transfer). She had to meet with the DM but said they did agree. At the end of the day, I think if you can justify it by your actions/connection score/drive times and are willing to be the greasy wheel and defend yourself, it might be feasible.
At the time, her rate would have been about $2 more than what a fresh SS would make. Which Starbucks loves to start fresh if you quit/demote.
So, if you’re asking for it, I always revert to the fact that Starbucks loves their numbers, so you better be able to back up your request with the sale$ or connection numbers.
