Jobs at Starbucks

How can I apply for hourly retail opportunities?
Each Starbucks retail store independently hires and manages its own team of part-time and full-time hourly partners (employees). You may obtain an application at any Starbucks location or download the application. To find the Starbucks nearest you, use our Store Locator. Then visit the Starbucks locations that most interest you and submit an application.

How can I apply for a position with the Starbucks Support Center (Seattle Corporate Headquarters), Zone Offices, Roasting Plants, or Retail Management throughout the United States and Canada?
The best way to apply for a position is via the Career Center. You will have the opportunity to set up a personal account, create a profile, submit your resume, and apply for the positions that interest you.

After you have set up your personal account, you will have the ability to apply for specific positions, or just create a general profile for the recruiters to review. We encourage you to apply for a specific position because we receive a high volume of candidate profiles. When you apply for a specific position, you will be asked to answer pre-screening questions that help us assess your skills, knowledge, and qualifications based on the job requirements.

Your profile will remain active in our database for one year. Your information will be carefully considered and we will contact you if we determine that your skills and qualifications are a strong match for our current needs.

I already have a resume prepared. Why should I take the time to fill out a profile rather than send you my resume?
We believe our online application process will save you time by enabling you to easily update your personal and employment information as well as apply your profile information to multiple positions. Our online application process streamlines your candidate experience and will make your skills and qualifications more readily searchable to multiple recruiters within Starbucks Coffee Company. You can cut and paste your electronic resume into your personal profile for recruiters to reference. Our online application process allows you to:

Create a personal profile including your contact information, skills
and qualifications, and electronic resume
Search and apply for available positions
Update your profile information as needed
Request to be notified via e-mail of new employment
opportunities that match specific criteria you define in your profile

Please visit the profile section today to submit your profile.

How can I learn which jobs are currently available? How will I know when a new opportunity becomes available?
You can review current opportunities on our Job Search page. While Starbucks job advertisements may appear in specific newspapers and magazines, the Starbucks web site remains the most comprehensive source of current opportunities, with the exception of retail hourly positions. Visit the store locations that interest you most to learn about retail hourly positions available. Alternately, you may also request to be notified via e-mail about opportunities that match specific criteria that you have defined in your profile.

How do I apply for multiple positions at Starbucks?
Once you complete your profile, you are able to apply your information to multiple positions. Please note that you must apply your information specifically to each position that is of interest to you. Each position may have job specific prescreening questions that should be completed. Your answers will assist our recruiters in assessing your qualifications for the position.

Can I still apply to Starbucks, even if there isn’t a specific position currently available that is of interest to me?
Yes. By creating a profile and entering your skills and qualifications into the system, a recruiter will be able to perform searches based on your information. In addition, you may also request to be notified via e-mail about opportunities that match specific criteria that you have defined in your profile.

How long will my profile remain in the database? How often should I update it?
Your profile will remain active in our database for one year. If your personal or employment information changes, we recommend you update your personal profile. At a minimum, your profile should be updated every twelve months.

How do I change my profile information?
Once you have created a profile, you may change your personal information or update your resume as needed. Simply access your profile with your user id/password and make the necessary changes. Your information will be updated immediately.

What if I forget my password?
Use the “Forgot Password” function on the login screen. You will receive an e-mail containing a temporary password and instructions on how to change your password. Go to the web address specified in the e-mail and enter your temporary password and a new password. Your new password will then be valid, and you can access your personal profile.

What is the minimum age requirement to work at Starbucks?
You must be at least 16 years old to be eligible for employment at Starbucks. If you have questions about employment eligibility, please consult a store manager.

What benefits will I receive as a Starbucks Partner?
Starbucks Total Pay package is referred to as “Your Special Blend” because it is unique to each partner. Partners who work full time or part time (generally 20 hours or more per week) may participate in a variety of programs, and make choices based on individual needs and interests.

Depending on job and a partner's personal situation, a partner’s total pay package may include:

Progressive Compensation Package

Retirement Savings Plan
Stock Options and Discounted Stock Purchase Plan
Income Protection Plan (Life and Disability Coverage)
