"Compared to other companies, I am pleased with my pay. If I were to begin the process of moving up, the compensation would also increase in a reasonable way. Compared to other "fast food" or coffee shops, I'd say my pay and benefits are beyond anything they could offer me. 401k, stock, health, workers compensation, and more are available to any part-time or full-time worker - something most companies cannot say they have."

"Starbucks is a difficult company when it comes to pay. I think they believe they can pay less because they offer their partners so many benefits. However, being newly graduated, $9.87 doesn't keep me afloat very much. I just wish as a company, Starbucks would look at your background and apply any raises or bonuses based on that."

"A barista at Starbucks starting wage is from $10-$15 an hour. But the hourly wages isn't what makes Starbucks a great company to work for. They also offer Healthcare benefits for both part-time and full-time workers, along with 401(k) matching, and discounted stock options for company shares. Starbucks also offers full tuition reimbursement through Arizona State University’s online degree program."

+$50K (90%) more than average Starbucks salary ($30K)

"The salary is reflected of the market that I work in. Working in the San Francisco area managers are paid a bit more to compensate for the cost of living. Bonuses do help a lot to reach this number but bonuses are not guaranteed. I’ve been a retail operations manager for 7 years and and I started at $49k and worked my way up to my current salary. Managers can make a lot more depending if their stores comp significantly over the previous year."
