Pros
Free samples, friendly coworkers, some nice customers
Cons
I understand that certain reviews may come off fabricated to a degree. Let me tell you that Zen Leaf in St. Charles would bend over backwards to break compliance if it meant shortening a transaction by 5 seconds. As a former AIC, I had witness numerous situations where the State Compliance Officer docked the store on blatant misconduct regarding cannabis compliance. These examples are not limited to: Non-compliant storage of cannabis items on the sales floor Non-compliant operations of taking deliveries Non-compliant priority of medical and recreational patients Along with what has been said, Verano/Zen Leaf could not make a final decision on how lines should be displayed for the customers, leading to daily confusion as to WHERE the customer should stand. Something so simple, and so direct, should not be something worth disciplining staff over when these issues are brought to management. However, the negative reviews would seemingly be ignored. Verano/Zen Leaf has seemingly never taken accountability for their own actions, it falls on the hourly staff, who are being mislead by their superiors. Verano/Zen Leaf hardly encouraged the knowledge of cannabis in a medical context. Instead, staff was encouraged to sell Verano products with priority.
