Working at Starbucks

Hi there,

I am considering applying for an assistant management position at a local Starbucks (Pittsburgh, PA), but I cannot get any information on salary. I generally like to have some idea of what the pay is before I go ahead and apply....could anyone help me out with an average salary range for assistant management positions??

Thank you!!!

It usually depends on the volume of the store. Pa probably 30-35 grand a year. But a little advice get out of here. This is not an official union. Ask someone who works at sbux, a reliable individual and they will let you know. This union will compromise your benefits if you ever decide toa apply which I encourage you do. You will get vacation time,sick days, personal days, a paid training, and a full time schedule, along with raises, tuition reimbursement, bonuses, and promotion in a timely matter.

Not an official union? I question whether or not you are an official shift. You would be the first shift I knew to make promises like bonuses and promotions to anyone. I would also like to remind you that it is not true that the union will compromise your benefits.

I also find it funny that you use the word compromise. Are you saying that the union WILL cause partners to LOSE benefits? Have you been coached by a manager or maybe a lawyer on what to say to partners regarding the union?

judging from the tone of comments, i would say that at least 3/4ths of these people that claim to be 'parteners' and hold anti-union positions are actually management posing as shop floor workers. Everything they say is just too typically 'management union busting' toned..

also, the techniques used, such as repeatedly saying that 'the union will compromise your healthcare' are also typical coached anti-union manouvers.

I apologize for my ignorance, but I'm a bit slow, so would you please explain the following you wrote; "This union will compromise your benefits if you ever decide toa apply which I encourage you do." If you believe they'll "compromise your benefits" than why "encourage" anyone to apply?
It does sound a bit like some managers would. Why? Well, I was one until I quit and I am somewhat familiar with the "party line".
But again, I could be mistaken and it won't be the last time.
Cheers
