Pros

Pros: The benefits are decent—especially if you’re single or don’t have dependents. They look good on paper and are probably one of the more competitive aspects of working here. Free lunch and snacks are provided, which is a nice perk and, at times, feels less like a benefit and more like fuel to keep everyone going through the long days. The real highlight, though, is the people on the ground. Your peers are driven, resilient, and genuinely supportive—arguably the only reason the company is still functioning. It’s a team full of hungry individuals who work 12+ hour days, consistently overdeliver, and somehow manage to maintain a positive attitude despite everything else going on. If you take anything valuable away from this place, it’ll likely be the relationships and camaraderie with your coworkers.

Cons

If you’ve ever wondered what a “boys’ club” looks like in 2026, look no further. Leadership here operates on a fascinating combination of being completely out of touch and aggressively confident about it. The CEO seems blissfully unaware of what actually happens on the sales floor, while mid-level managers fill the gap by micromanaging, bullying, and making wildly inappropriate comments like it’s part of the job description. Strategy? That changes quarterly—sometimes feels like weekly—so don’t get too comfortable building relationships with your accounts. Book reshuffling is constant, which is great if you enjoy explaining to frustrated customers why they’ve been handed off (again). Nothing says “we value long-term partnerships” like organizational chaos. Let’s talk commission, aka the imaginary bonus structure. Even when you hit your number, getting paid is more of a philosophical concept than a guarantee. The new “discretionary” commission plan basically means leadership can decide—vibes permitting—whether or not you deserve to be paid for the revenue you already brought in. It’s less compensation, more roulette. For a company that calls itself tech, the operations are impressively prehistoric. Automation is apparently optional, so reps spend the majority of their time doing manual tasks that any modern system would handle instantly. Productivity tracking? A manually updated Google Sheet that’s somehow always wrong—so you’ll also spend hours fixing data about the work you already did. Efficient. Culture-wise, morale is nonexistent, customers are treated like inconveniences (even the ones spending millions), and favoritism is alive and thriving. If you’re close with leadership, you’re golden. If not, good luck. Overall, if you’re looking for instability, unclear pay, outdated systems, and a workplace culture stuck somewhere between frat house and corporate chaos—this might be the place for you.

Pros

I have nothing but good things to say. I would have stayed in my role, but my wife got a job that required us to move.

Cons

None. The company is well on track for success.

Pros

I’ve read many of the reviews here from both current and former employees, and while I respect everyone’s individual experience, I can only speak to my own. Weedmaps is filled with incredibly smart, passionate people who genuinely care about the industry and the company’s success. It is absolutely a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment, but much of that comes with the nature of the cannabis industry itself. During my interview process, the teams were very transparent about the startup culture, the pace of change, and the level of adaptability expected. If you thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy solving problems creatively, and are comfortable moving quickly, Weedmaps can be a great place to grow. If you prefer highly structured environments with slower change, it may not be the right fit for you.

Cons

One area where I do agree with some of the feedback shared in other reviews is around company-wide communication and visibility from leadership. I would appreciate more insight into what different teams across Weedmaps are working toward, as well as a clearer understanding of the company’s long-term vision and direction. That said, I also understand that open forums can sometimes become overly focused on negativity, which can make productive communication more difficult. I’d still love to see more consistent opportunities for transparent updates and alignment across the organization.
