What's it like to be a partner?
A Starbucks career is a journey that starts with learning about coffee, often through coffee tasting and roasting events. Beyond that, partners also learn how to help our business – and other partners – grow and thrive.
Working at Starbucks is a lot like working with your friends. We understand, respect, appreciate and include different people. And we believe in keeping each other informed, so our senior leaders regularly hold Open Forum events to answer your questions.

Your Special Blend might include:
- Competitive pay
- Insurance: medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, life, disability
- Bonuses
- Paid time off
- Retirement savings plan
- Equity in the form of Starbucks stock and discounted stock purchase plan
- Adoption assistance

Aside from extraordinary coffee, Starbucks has made a business out of human connections, community involvement and the celebration of cultures. We're committed to upholding a culture where diversity is valued and respected. So it's only natural that as a guiding principle, diversity is integral to everything we do.
At Starbucks we define Diversity in the form of an equation.
Diversity = Inclusion + Equity + Accessibility
Inclusion: human connection & engagement
Equity: fairness & justice
Accessibility: ease of use & barrier free
Our company-wide diversity strategy focuses on four areas: partners, customers, suppliers and communities.

Our company-wide diversity strategy focuses on four areas: partners, customers, suppliers and communities.
- Partners (our employees) - We seek out and engage partners who are as diverse as the communities we serve. Focusing on partner development by educating and engaging our partners.

- Suppliers - We are a trusted and welcoming company for suppliers through our supplier diversity program that works to increase our pipeline of minority and women owned suppliers.
Starbucks is dedicated to creating a workplace that values and respects people from diverse backgrounds, and enables its employees to do their best work. We honor the unique combination of talents, experiences and perspectives of each partner, making Starbucks success possible.
As such we expect our partners to act with a spirit of kinship, tolerance and humanity toward all customers making our brand welcoming to everyone.
