Hiring process was pleasant, manager and supervisor were welcoming and supportive,  HR was helpful and congenial, professional on-boarding. All areas of building are very clean, uniforms and shoes provided, very nice break room.  I really wanted to like this job, but just couldn't for a few reasons. My department is run by very young people which is not, by any means, a bad thing except when it becomes evident that some have no real experience or etiquette and that everyone thinks they're a manager so there's constant input from nearly every coworker that is different than "helpful". Thankfully, the work is easy tho. It's kind of a playground at times and feels disorganized. The staff all do care about the products and services which is great to see, and there were several genuinely nice and helpful employees, but it's a strange environment with most employees having free reign.  Good job for local, young people, if you fit in. Note: wear ear buds- the music might not be to your liking and that can be aggravating. The buds can also help block out the constant chatter- it's, basically, harmless and friendly, but it's also gossip filled and can be dishesrteningly negative-especially when it's shared starting day 1. I could've tolerated most of the above, but definitely not all of it. Others might love every aspect. I was called a hoe by a coworker (reported to HR, concern expressed, not outcome reoprted) and I won't tolerate that. Another worker told me they were quitting every day, and that's too much nonsense.  For others, you might be a great fit with the other employees and then this would be an ideal job. 


Stay far away from buckeye relief a job here will only show you how terrible this industry really is in ohio. The management is all kids and the directors are the owners buddies from back in the day so they can never get fired no matter how bad or incompetent they are at their jobs. This company hates innovation and spending money that doesn't go into their own pockets so don't expect to get the proper equipment to do your job and defiantly don't expect yearly raises you'll be compensated with a buckeye shirt or a stupid hat. Nobody works hard and they all look for ways to fire you to make themselves look better for not knowing how to do their jobs. 0/10 would not recommend working here 

Elitism, cronyism, with a touch of nepotism. If you’re part of that crowd it’s probably a great place to work. For the rest, once the shine of being around the plants wears off, it becomes dreadful. Overworked, underpaid, always expecting more is the norm. Profits, profits, profits is what matters. Empty promises the entire time I was there. Make all other plans around the needs of the company. Family, friends, pets and everything else should come after. Unless of course you’re part of that first crowd. If you wanted to brew beer would you go work for Budweiser? This Is Budweiser in the cannabis world. Without a doubt the worst I’ve been treated in my working life!

In short the whole company is young and so is most of leadership. most of them, regardless of age has never taken a course on how to lead a team and it shows. The team itself has always been great but leadership is super lacking.

The only positive thing about this company is the other co workers that keep you in a good mood and good spirits. Management only cares about themselves and will do anyone dirty at the first chance they get. They do not care about their employees. I’ve seen them fire multiple people with no explanation with no warnings no write ups nothing. They will call themselves a family and a team but will treat you like the gum on their shoe. A lot of favoritism the higher ups will cover for each other no matter what wrong doing they do. A lot of unsanitary health violations going on. 

I have personally seen this company evolve so quickly over time, and for the better. BR has reached the point that they've hit the ground running and are growing beautiful, potent flowers. This company has created a culture that allows people to be themselves, while working hard and care about the advancement of our work as well. Employees throughout the facility are friendly, and positive people. So many new connections are made here. Not to mention the company has gone above and beyond for the staff here, where many other companies may not have. I truly do love working here, that we are always improving and I wouldn't imagine changing it for anything.

Buckeye had the potential to be a place I could stay for a while. However, with the company so profit-focused, it's workers - the literal backbone of the company- were often left over worked, under paid, and mistreated. When interacting with middle and upper management, I often felt like I was being treated like a middle schooler (I was one of the oldest staff members with years of work experience). They played games, made promises that working for them would be financially beneficial, but ultimately, we were left us just as broke and tired as before. Ya, working in the cannabis industry is cool and all, but the culture is so immature and frustrating. 

Indoor farming sounds like it would be easy but it is still a very physical job.  Bit of ground hog's day with the repetitive growing cycle.  Pay is comparable to other production and warehouse jobs.  Annual compensation increases, full benefits, year end company performance based bonus program, etc.  Everyone on the cultivation team works hard but at times it can feel like an island, separated from the rest of the company by literal doors and walls.  More transparency on harvest performance would help the team understand direction better.  I've worked at worse places, only time will tell how much room there is for advancement.

Management has no idea what they are doing half the time. They spend the majority of their time in meetings where it’s proven they just joke around and beat around the bush. Don’t bring any innovative ideas to the table, they like to take your ideas and put their name on them (if you do leave a paper trail proving it’s your idea). “Key” employees are a huge thing here. Inner circle is no joke and you have to be a push over to get anywhere promotion wise. Over all….just avoid the application process and save yourself the heart ache of dealing with their lack of education for the plants and poor management skills.

So many improper procedures were being taken every day. as far as people not changing out gloves or being on their phones constantly. ontop of the supervisor being the managers distant family… after joining the company after everyone else. seems they cant keep workers longer then a year.

and the ones that are there longer then a year are sleeping around. very much a selfish work environment. nobody matches speed or has expectations set for themselves.
