Pros

The pay is okay, but when they tell you it is above market rate, they're lying. The benefits are great.

Cons

This company will promise you the world to get you to take the job, only to go back on everything you were promised as soon as you're hired. Think it's a stable job in the cannabis industry? Think again. Frequent layoffs and restructuring mean your job could be gone faster than you can say "sexual harassment." Also, everything exists in extremes. Either you are doing exceptionally well in your role or you will be gaslit into thinking you're a failure and can't do anything right. You know you're being purposefully pushed out when you stop being added to meetings and exist in a complete silo. Managers enjoy making fun of you or posting passive-aggressive posts about other employees on LinkedIn. Even if you're promised a raise and promotion, likely, it will never happen. Unless you're close with a higher-up or C-suite-level executive, you won't attain any career growth. People get hired based on nepotism and not whether they can perform in a role. Goal posts for success are constantly moving so they become more unreachable each time.

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.
