Pros

1. Some of the people that work there are genuinely good people just doing what they can to get by.

Cons

Disclaimer - I left this company of my own volition; I was not fired or let go. My advice to anyone reading this is not hindsight from my own failures out of spite, it is from the perspective of someone who was smart enough to GET OUT. Do with that what you will. 1. Constant, unceasing increase in workload on a near daily basis with absolutely no incentive to work any harder than you are comfortable with, because nothing is ever good enough or fast enough anyway, and you will see other employees doing a fraction of your work for identical pay every single day. Your absolute best work you can put out there will NEVER be good enough at this company. 2. Literal disregard of human life. They are -HEAVILY- "pro-office-anti-remote" (its a pandemic. we can work remote. let us work remote instead of pressuring people literally every week to go in and possibly get sick!) and -HEAVILY- against the mere concept of mental health maintenance. God forbid they put too much on you and you ask for a break on your workload, unless you don't mind becoming enemy #1 with a target the size of the moon on you. 3. You are a disposable employee when you work here. They do not care about you, they care about numbers. And the numbers they are worried about are unimaginably poorly handled, to the point of the company needing to pull every single trick in the book just to keep the all-important numbers secret and obfuscated from potential clients. the grift is all important, because no one is going to buy it if they knew the truth of how the company was operating. If you want a really easy way to see how the company is being ran, just check the company stock prices over the year. Its a rocket ship straight into the ground in one of the biggest emerging markets in the country, which is more telling than anything I could ever say here. 4. The company let people go over and over all year. They didnt hire a single one. The workload designed for a full team was eventually multiplied substantially while being spread thinner and thinner across a dwindling employee team. Why did they do this? ZERO hires despite everyone and everything saying we need more people? 5. You are routinely expected to learn and support new programs and concepts completely blindly with zero training. Sometimes to the point of you've never even HEARD of what the person calling in is calling in about, but you get to figure it out anyway. I always felt this to be rather crude and rude thing to do to your staff. 6. Mental health to them may as well be fictional. They just flat out do not care about your mental well being and ignore every single other potential option in favor of hammering down on the thing that hits you hardest. 7. No such thing as PTO + denial of time off requests = anti employee. This is ridiculous. 8. The entire company is built around stepping on others to get to the top. Go look up the CEO of Ample's resignation letter for when MJ Freeway bought them out.

Pros

This company has managed to hire cool, regular staff - who are passionate, smart, and driven. You never have to come into the office. If you care about cannabis, you feel like you're contributing to the industry in a unique way.

Cons

It's unfortunate that the people in charge don't care about you - they don't care if you're burning out, they don't care if it's 4am, they don't care if it's Sunday. They lowball your salary, tell you to make the sacrifice for a good cause, and they promise you gold...and give you aluminum. Reviews are forgotten so best believe that your raise will also be forgotten. The tech leads may be skilled in that, although I think this is arguable, but they are most certainly not skilled in management of people - no one on top is anyone to admire or respect, unfortunately, because they don't empathize with others. They don't really stick to their values: 1. do the right thing - when they never do right by their employees as mentioned above. 2. be part of the solution - there's a culture club but because the ones on top don't care, nothing has changed in over a year. 3. show people that you care - turnover wouldn't be as high if you showed your employees you cared, it's the number one reason so many people I know have left. Oh, and there might only be 7 months of money left if things don't get better, right? No summer party scheduled yet either so must be accurate?
