Starbucks conducts annual pay reviews for all partners. Increases are based on performance, tenure, and market adjustments. Partners receive a performance review from their manager before merit increases are applied.
Starbucks periodically adjusts pay in specific markets to remain competitive with local wages. Partners in higher-cost markets may receive additional increases beyond their performance raise.
Partners promoted from barista to shift supervisor, or into management, receive a pay increase at the time of promotion. The amount varies by market and store.
Partners with longer tenure often sit higher in their pay range. Starbucks recognizes loyalty through service anniversary recognition and typically maintains higher floors for long-tenured partners.

Yes. Starbucks conducts annual performance reviews that can result in merit pay increases even without a title change. Market adjustments may also occur independently of performance. Speaking with your manager about your performance and contributions is the best way to maximize your annual review outcome.
