1. The Impact

We get a free food item and free drinks every shift we work! Free drinks start 30mins before your shift and go until 30mins after. If you have to drive to another store to work, or you're sent out to pick up stuff for the store, we reimburse you for mileage!

“I love working at Starbucks because I know that I am making an impact on the [employees] wearing the green apron and the customers who come to our stores. It is exciting to see these crazy and new concepts come to life in our stores.” – Kyle, Business (Global Leadership) major

By working at Starbucks, you have the opportunity to better people’s lives every day, and because Starbucks has so much variety in what stores offer, there’s never a dull moment (or season) at work.

2. The Supportive Community

“The most rewarding part of my job is being able to help partners grow and develop. I am passionate about the Starbucks College Achievement Plan and love engaging and supporting our partners during their journey to graduation.” – Ashley, Mass Communications and Media Studies major

To recap, Starbucks offers an incredible partnership with Arizona State University that provides full tuition reimbursement for employees pursuing a bachelor’s degree. Even better, the opportunity is open to all Starbucks employees who work an average of 20 hours per week and don’t already have a bachelor’s degree.

3. The Values-Driven Mission

“I love coming to work for a company that reinvests in my development both inside and outside of work. A lot of companies have great mission statements, but at Starbucks we live that mission and our values every day!” – Rob, Communications major

Whether it’s making a difference in a customer’s day, taking part in local volunteer events, or investing in the farming communities where they source the coffee from, Starbucks is all about improving the lives of people and the communities they serve.

4. The Extra Perks

“I love the culture at Starbucks. I love my pound of coffee every week and my free Spotify account. I use Spotify playlists for studying.” – Melissa, Organizational Leadership major

There’s a fun fact you might not have known: Starbucks gives all employees a free pound of coffee every week! In addition, the company offers health benefits, free food and drinks, stock, and a premium Spotify account. Dreams really do come true.

Does Starbucks sound like the perfect workplace for you? There’s more good news coming your way: The company is hiring motivated baristas here right now.

Barista Application Tip!

Did you know you can submit your application to up to 5 stores at one time? In order to stand out after submitting your application, stop by the store(s) you applied to and introduce yourself to the manager or shift supervisor. Let them know you recently applied and what excites you about the opportunity. If you don’t get a call for an interview within 60 days, you can re-apply to the same or different stores. Good luck!

Two of my favorite things ever are coffee and music, hands down. In my opinion, there's nothing better than turning the radio up and sipping on a hot cup of joe. More specifically, any morning that involves a Starbucks latte and my favorite Spotify playlist is a great morning in my book. If you haven't hopped on the Spotify bandwagon yet, now's your chance — because Starbucks is offering an extended free trial of the streaming site for certain Rewards members who give it a go. If you're wondering how to get a free Spotify Premium trial from Starbucks, take a seat and read on. This is a music opportunity that you won't want to miss — especially if you're a loyal Starbucks customer.

Speaking of 'loyal' Starbucks customers, let's talk about who's been notified about the company's latest musical offering. According to Starbucks, Rewards members in the 'Gold' level were sent an email that invited them to try a complimentary 60-day trial of Spotify Premium. Elite Daily reached out to Starbucks to see if only Gold members are allowed to sign up for the trial, but has not heard back by the time of publication. Whether you're a Gold member or not, I'll tell you how to get the ball rolling so you can start listening to Spotify Premium for free.

Free Spotify For Starbucks Employees

FYI, Spotify Premium is a version of Spotify that lets you skip and download songs. It also excludes the ads (!!!), which means you can listen to your favorite playlists without interruption. The service costs $9.99 per month, but I think it's totally worth it.

Now that you know what Spotify Premium is, I'll walk you through the process of scoring a free trial with Starbucks. According to the company's exclusive email, you'll first need to visit Spotify's webpage promoting the offer, which can be found here. Then, you'll need to hit the button at the bottom of the screen that says 'GET SPOTIFY PREMIUM.' That'll take you to a webpage where you'll need to sign up for Spotify using your email address. According to Starbucks, the email address that you use should be 'valid' — and there's a perfectly good reason for that.

Starbucks Rewards members who sign up for the 60-day free trial using their valid email addresses will receive a whopping 250 Bonus Stars in return. How will they get those Stars, you ask? Via email, of course. According to Starbucks, Spotify will send Rewards members an email with a Star Code three days after signing up for the trial. That Star Code can then be used to redeem the Bonus Stars.

Starbucks Partner Spotify Premium

When you think about it, Starbucks is essentially offering its Rewards members almost two months of unlimited music and a lot of Bonus Stars. It's a total win-win.

However, there is a small catch. After the 60-day trial is over, Starbucks Rewards members will need to start paying for Spotify Premium. As I previously mentioned, it's $9.99 per month. If you love music (and coffee) as much as I do, it'll probably be worth it.

If you agree — and you're a Starbucks Rewards member, of course — you can go ahead and sign up for your free Spotify Premium trial right now. You'll have until Feb. 21 to register and receive Bonus Stars, so try not to procrastinate. Free music and complimentary coffee awaits you.
