"As a Starbucks barista, I gained first-hand knowledge of the company's culture and experienced for myself the fast-paced nature of the service industry. As I chatted with employees, it is clear that Starbucks works to embody their mission to "inspire and nurture" in all aspects of the company. From the attention Starbucks employees pay to each customer's drink order to the types of advancement opportunities they offer for their team members, it is clear that Starbucks takes quality customer service to the next level."
