Pros

-You will learn a lot about the cannabis industry -Most of the people who work there are friendly and knowledgeable -Catered lunches are super convenient

Cons

-Toxic work environment -The lovely people who work there are all kept in line by fear of getting fired/laid off and it can be a draining environment to work in day after day after day. The rich owners are oblivious to this dread. -I'm not ready to talk about my personal full experience at this company, but the things I witnessed other employees go through here ... let's just say it is clear that this company does not have an HR dept. by design. Things I overheard during my time at the company: -One of their best employees in sales/compliance (2 years tenure) be demanded to give a rundown of his entire day, in order to determine if he was "productive" enough. If this is how a top employee is treated, you can imagine how everyone else's time is micro-managed. -The CEO questioning a female employee about how long she spends in the bathroom (remember what I said about the no HR dept. being on purpose?) -Harrison Bard and Fredrik Rading (CEO and COO) talk OPENLY in the office about how they "raised up" a past employee they FIRED because she managed to get a better job title after getting fired by them. This is the kind of delusional thinking leading this company. -The CEO is a complete coward who will give you a glowing review to your face one day and get one of his lackeys to fire you the next. Seriously, I would echo the sentiments of another poster who said that as hard as it is to need money and work, it is not worth taking a job here. You might find yourself in a worse situation than where you started. I met two of the hardest working people I've met in my entire career while working at this job and they both seem like they have Stockholm Syndrome with the way this awful company treats them and don't seem to realize they can do better. That's what this place does-- they knock down your self-esteem so that you feel you deserve what they are giving you, and then make you fearful of leaving so that they can discard you at their convenience. -The last thing I will say is that if you're interviewing here, be careful that they are not just getting free consulting from you on your industry.

Pros

- Great environment: think office dogs, free lunches, lots of snacks, lots of drinks, funky music playing, fun parties, engagement committee, birthday celebrations, anniversary celebrations, team outings, team dinners, etc. - Lots of space: we're in a nice, big building where everyone can have their own space. You like a corner cubicle? Set up in the corner. You can decorate & make it your own. - Location: lots of things around that are convenient (grocery stores, gas stations, etc.) - Mostly friendly customers: you're working in the cannabis industry, most people are pretty chill that you're dealing with. Less angry customers than normal. - Work/Life Balance: they're very understanding when things come up. As long as you're communicating & not abusing the system, you're going to be fine. Follow the rules, do your best & you will be good. - Transparency: the owners are very transparent about the business & make you feel like you have a share in it, that it's partly yours, so you feel loyal to it & committed to it. They share profits, losses, where we're going next, etc. Sometimes transparency isn't possible but when it is, I feel like it's given.

Cons

Sometimes with start ups things are changing rapidly. Growth is happening so you have to change direction, add more work to your plate at times, adapt, grow with them. If you're not willing to step out of your comfort zone, not willing to do a little more work than you thought you would be doing, etc. then you might not make it.

Pros

The company offers a highly flexible work environment supported by engaged and approachable management. Team members benefit from meaningful growth opportunities, hot daily meals, and a fully stocked kitchen with snacks and refreshments. As the organization continues to grow rapidly, adaptability is essential. Those who thrive here are proactive, open to change, and comfortable navigating a dynamic environment. Individuals who are resistant or unwilling to adjust to evolving priorities may find the pace and structure challenging.

Cons

During the course of the event, a recurring concern has emerged regarding inconsistent staff attendance and the apparent misuse of managerial leniency. While we appreciate the supportive and approachable nature of our leadership team, it is important to acknowledge that such kindness should not be mistaken for a lack of accountability. There have been multiple instances where team members failed to meet their scheduled obligations, either arriving late or not showing up without appropriate communication. This not only places undue strain on those who are present and fulfilling their responsibilities, but also disrupts overall operations and impacts the attendee experience. Respectful and professional behavior must extend both ways—while management offers flexibility and understanding, it is the responsibility of all staff to reciprocate with reliability and a strong work ethic. Going forward, clearer expectations around attendance and accountability may be necessary to maintain fairness and ensure smooth coordination across all teams.
