Being held accountable for everything but not being able to do anything about lazy baristas who like to show up late. Less flexible schedule. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=11885#post-83883 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:16:04 +0000 nonfatwithextrawhip 83883@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Recently, I became a shift supervisor at a new store. Talk about hell. I'm begining to hate the company more and more everyday. I was never trained. And by never, I literally mean never. Casuality of cutting hours at an understaffed location you could say.<br /> I sat in the back and read the training materials one day. The rest of my week of "training" I would clock in as training and then work a normal shift supervisor role.<br /> Now, I used to be a great barista. I know what's expected of me. I was so excited to move up. I started at 8.35/hr and needed the extra income and responsiblity, so I thought. Now that I've moved up. Not been certified, yet still am operating as a shift.<br /> Going to a new store, there is literally no time to train or go over basic procedures like an inventory count. It's great. So, if you want to be rushed through training, or not trained at all, become responsible for everything that goes wrong, and be told to cut everyone's hours everyday that results in you not getting anything done. Go for it!!! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=11885#post-83392 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:22:00 +0000 Señor Cardgage 83392@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>It sure as **** looks better than what I have on <em>my</em> resume. It basically says, without any other marketable skills, 'minion' and 'henchman.' </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=11885#post-83377 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:26:50 +0000 icedamericano 83377@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@OrangeBlossom does it really look good on a resume? I graduated college last year and hope to find a new job related to my career path. I never considered it to be something that could look good on a resume beyond leadership experience. Interesting thought.. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=11885#post-83365 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:01:04 +0000 OrangeBlossom 83365@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Good:<br /> Looks good on a resume</p> <p>Bad:<br /> Everything about the position </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=11885#post-83350 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:11:57 +0000 icedamericano 83350@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I was promoted to shift in February. It's not glamorous, but if you're serious about the work, it's much nicer than being a barista. I feel like my decisions and actions have more of an impact in the store. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=11885#post-83009 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:08:13 +0000 Señor Cardgage 83009@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Moar bad!</p> <ul> <li>Accountability for everything that happens, ever. </li> <li>Disaster control! </li> <li>Potential problem partners! </li> <li>In-fighting! </li> <li>Blame-shifting! </li> <li>No more plausible deniability! </li> <li>Sku tracking!

Silly me. I let my bosses know. </p> <p>But my question is this. They let me run the floor for about 2 hours today. Good and bad about being a shift? I wanna hear you guys out. I don't wanna get stuck at starbucks, that is not in my life plan. </p>
