Great opportunity to get into the industry but get the experience then figure out your next move
Pros
Some of the most hardworking and fun teams I've ever had the chance to work with. Great ERGs and "team building" events. Benefits weren't bad either, NYC office is gorgeous, loved my experience with my team and the remote-first approach. There are truly some gems of humans that have been hired (emphasis on some).
Cons
The management team lacks diversity---most men, mostly white and almost no women. For an organization that claims to want to do the work to unpack the misrepresentation of diverse groups and restorative justice of the cannabis industry, where is the evidence to show for it? Why are there mostly white, cis-male or both at the highest leadership levels? Is that equitable or diverse? No. That's a part of the problem, be the change or stop speaking about it. There's also lack of transparency across many different fronts. People quit left and right 60+ percent of the organization (of 300 people) have been employees for less than a year and a half. It's concerning, making it so much more challenging for the recruitment team (they're rockstars but I feel bad for them). It's exhausting and teams will continue to lose amazing people if they don't begin to address the real issue which is the poor leadership to begin with.
