Culture of Connection

From the beginning, we set out to be a different kind of company that celebrates coffee craft and recognizes the need for human connection

But… what’s a
Starbucks Partner?

We believe that success is best when shared. Our employees are called partners because, through our annual Bean Stock grant, we each have ownership in the future success of our business.

Expect More Than Coffee

Everything we do is for our coffeehouses—and the people in them. Here, you have the chance to brighten someone’s day with a handcrafted beverage and a warm smile. Whether you’re behind the bar, leading a team, or supporting operations, you help create moments that matter. Because here, connection is just as important as coffee.

Mission & Values

Grow

From helping each other grow in our careers or as humans, we believe in providing developmental support and experiences for everyone
