Pros
LeafLink is a great step into the cannabis industry and is providing many solutions to cannabis operators. Team outside of leadership is supportive, eager to help, and great to collaborate with
Cons
A lot of "emphasis" on diversity, hiring women, supporting POCs/women and giving back to the cannabis community but LeafLink seems to fail on delivering. Time and time again, it was communicated that they are prioritizing women candidates and women of color candidates for C-level positions but LeafLink's leadership team does not reflect that with the recent COO & CRO hires which makes the messaging feel more like pandering. There is a clear disconnect between the leadership team/executive team and the employees at LeafLink. A lot of finger pointing and not enough listening to feedback or even working through solutions with the different teams. LeafLink announced a hiring freeze after aggressively over hiring in 2022 but assured their employees that their jobs were secure, only to layoff what seemed like mainly women and people of color. Employees are discouraged from applying to internal roles due to the extremely unattainable requirements. It felt like there were no career opportunities to grow within LeafLink irregardless of accomplishment for the company. LeafLink routinely changed its internal process giving their internal teams very little time to adapt - there is poor communication on roll out dates or delays and teams are often found struggling to get a clear answer as their managers are also in the dark. Changes are made with very little consideration of market trends, territories, or insight from their teams. There is a lack in transparency when it comes to compensation especially goals and commission. As far as company culture and morale, highly don't recommend. Engagement surveys are done twice a year and results are usually heavily swayed due to the number of freshly hired employees as are the reviews below. The boys club is hard to compete with and is exhausting to try to keep up with.
