Pros

This company has managed to hire cool, regular staff - who are passionate, smart, and driven. You never have to come into the office. If you care about cannabis, you feel like you're contributing to the industry in a unique way.

Cons

It's unfortunate that the people in charge don't care about you - they don't care if you're burning out, they don't care if it's 4am, they don't care if it's Sunday. They lowball your salary, tell you to make the sacrifice for a good cause, and they promise you gold...and give you aluminum. Reviews are forgotten so best believe that your raise will also be forgotten. The tech leads may be skilled in that, although I think this is arguable, but they are most certainly not skilled in management of people - no one on top is anyone to admire or respect, unfortunately, because they don't empathize with others. They don't really stick to their values: 1. do the right thing - when they never do right by their employees as mentioned above. 2. be part of the solution - there's a culture club but because the ones on top don't care, nothing has changed in over a year. 3. show people that you care - turnover wouldn't be as high if you showed your employees you cared, it's the number one reason so many people I know have left. Oh, and there might only be 7 months of money left if things don't get better, right? No summer party scheduled yet either so must be accurate?

Pros

Communication, mentorship, and a great team are all great aspects about working here. Personally, my favorite thing is the flexibility- I really appreciate knowing that I can take a midday appointment or pick up my kid from school when I need to. The unlimited PTO is also a huge plus.

Cons

It’s a quickly growing company, so naturally that comes with some growing pains. But on the same note, leadership has really put in the work to make sure things go smoother with each “growth spurt” we have.

Pros

Incredible time to be in the Cannabis industry with the industry leading seed to sale solutions company. The MJ Freeway of today is a different company from who we were in 2017 and it is exciting so see and experience the transformation. For those that embrace empowerment and a sense of ownership in what you do, this is a great place to learn and grow. If you want an 8 hour job without empowerment and accountability, this is not the company for you because we want team members that want to make an impact and help us expand the lead we have in the industry. Reading some of the other reviews that are less than positive leads me to believe we are outgrowing some peoples abilities to grow and contribute. If this is how you feel, then find a place that fits your pace and make room for those with the energy, passion and desire to grow and succeed.

Cons

A fast growing company that is evolving constantly that lacks the routine and structure in place to make things easy all the time........not sure this is really a con.
