Pros

- Cannabis is an exciting and evolving industry - One Friday a month off, but that’s ending soon - Talented, humble, hardworking teammates which makes the high turn over hard for those remaining

Cons

- Bad culture, high turnover (people quit every week, but no one at the top acknowledges it) - Poor compensation and benefits (leadership withheld equity pre-going public, even for long term, high performing employees) - Growing workload with no promotion or raise (when people quit, whoever is left takes on their work, and asking for a raise/promotion is nearly impossible) - Nepotism (leadership hires their friends with exorbitant salaries and equity packages, despite lacking the experience or track record for their role) - Incompetent leadership (constantly changing processes/priorities, failed reorgs, no empathy) - Blame game (c suite blames everyone for their incompetence and fires smart people to avoid accountability)

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.
