Run!! if you can

Pros

Great benefits and pay for this industry.

Cons

Management!! Unfortunately working here is like working in a frat house. If you are not in the inner circle, you will not be promoted, your voice will not be heard and you will be fired if you slightly inconvenience them. Leadership is full of vindictive child bosses who only care about slowing down progress as much as possible and saving money in all the wrong places.

Don't stop applying to other jobs

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for the cannabis industry. If you're desperate take the offer, but seriously don't stop applying to other jobs.

Cons

A dumpster fire to light your joint. They fire and lay people off at least twice a quarter -- probably because California requires employers to notify the state if they're laying off 33% of the workforce at once. I was my direct report's 7th boss in 3 years. Typical corporate setting - no diversity, equity, or inclusion, white dudes failing up and being hired because they're cool with the CEO. It's pulling teeth trying to get the smallest thing done because you have to appease cannabis people who've only ever worked in cannabis and have no concept of strategy, process, or implementation in leadership positions. The company ignores the very little data it collects and markets Weedmaps to stoners who buy their product from the unregulated market instead of a broader consumer base. The B2B customers are right in thinking that Weedmaps doesn't care about cannabis businesses; Weedmaps raised their prices 4x with no added value to customers and the same terrible product. Needless to say, no money or lip service is paid to social equity businesses. With federal legalization around the corner and Weedmap's biggest competitor being Google Maps, just sell that sh*t for parts while you can. All in all, as an employer, saas, and B2C platform, Weedmaps is a dusty, crusty, rancid bag of bammer weed, slowly decomposing.

Pros

Free Cannabis Education, The employees, The parties and Free Cannabis gifts, Lunch is paid for if you work at HQ, Health, Dental, VIsion, Life Benefits, 401k

Cons

Unless you are in the inner circle you will not move up easily, so network and get yourself liked by the right people. For most WM should be a 5 yrs at most employment plan as layoffs happen in about a 3 to 5 yr rotation. Pay increases will have to be requested as they don't give out any annual cost of living raise, hopefully you will have a supervisor that fights for your raises for you.
