A typical day of work at Cloud Cover will include struggling for supplies, having the wrong items ordered for your department.  Blame is shifted on everyone and no one accepts it.  The management will straight up lie to your face about your role and when you have any issues they basically tell you to kick rocks.  Getting BASIC supplies like paper towels, buckets, basic office supplies would take WEEKS.

Do not bother filing any complaints against management as they will NEVER side with anyone that doesn't have a manager title regardless of how bad of a job they are doing.  They would rather protect 1 really poor manager (who isnt qualified for his job) that openly says they just don't feel like dealing with manager duties, then support their team.

They will actively make you do a bad job because they don't want to listen to suggestions.  If a manager doesn't come up with an idea on their own, they will completely disregard it then a couple weeks later they will bring it up as if its some completely new thought and take all the credit for it.  

The HR operates like emotionless uncompassionate robots.  They do not give a single care about anyone, they just do their job by the books and don't care what you think or how anything effects you.

I've been in the cannabis industry for 10+ years and this was BY FAR the worst job experience i've ever had.  

Strongly urge you to stay away unless you are completely desperate for work.  The owners are building this business to sell, not to build an actual good business.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best part was also the worst part. Alot of good people worked here, but there were also a few shady higher ups.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Direct support was horrible and the worse that I have ever worked for. Store director was trash and was more concerned with herself and sucking up to the president instead of supporting and doing what was right. Weekly one on ones always cancelled or she just wouldnt even show up to them when needed most. Never listening and always cutting off conversations when finally I did get her on the phone. Staff would always complain about leadership and the way Director and President would belittle them or act as if they cared about them as a person. They would show up to the store, move some things on a shelf and act as if they saved the day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast paced in most stores and stressful. Anxiety haven for budtenders and unsafe for reception. More worried about protecting product than their people who protect the product.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast paced. Can never disconnect on a day off because everything was a 911.

This workplace doesn't properly train its workers and doesn't care about its employees. Everyone is very two faced and its a very fend for yourself workplace. You can expect terrible management that criticizes without teaching. Sick employees are seen as a problem and not human. People are threatened with their jobs for being human and making simple mistakes and for having a life outside of the company. The schedule is not flexible and there is only callous treatment to employees that are legitimately sick. This workplace is extremely hostile and stressful. They only care about the money and be prepared to be treated like a robot. They will work you to death and still ask for more. There are no standard practices. They will disagree but policy changes so often that you will never be on the same page as your coworkers. Do not use your personal discretion to make decisions. Management will pretend that they trust you to make decisions but they don't. Do not work for this place unless you want to be absolutely miserable. Many people have lost their jobs at this organization without the company following its own procedures and without any opportunity to course correct. 

This is an ok place to learn about cultivation. Some of the people you will work with are great. Corporate is the real problem here, not those employed at this specific location. But your progress will quickly hit a ceiling. They will hire you without any experience in the industry. But once you've learned a little, you will realize that even at the top of the company, they don't know much. Other employers in the area pay a lot more for entry level technicians. Use your time here to build a resume and get a better paycheck somewhere else. Progress is slow at this company and often in the wrong direction. They also don't care about general employee well being. Expect to have any requests for accommodation dismissed. They will tell you they can't afford something and then spend tons of money changing equipment and share none of the gains with employees. Instead, they continue to shrink the workforce and put more work on the remaining employees. They do not invest in people so don't invest your future in them. Everyone there can see the writing on the wall and has exit plans 

LOTS of opportunities with C3 Industries, your experience there is exactly what you make of it. If you're a committed hard worker then it's recognized and lots of doors open for you to succeed and advance your career. Alternatively if you're just looking to do as little as you can to collect a paycheck then you'll probably be watching others advance and might not enjoy your time as much. With the rate the company is growing, everyday is fast paced with unique/exciting experiences. The industry is a lot of fun to be a part of, everything is new and there's so much that you can learn if you like to get your hands dirty and get involved. When you commit yourself to the team the people around you are committed to you as well, much like a family. I've very much enjoyed working with C3I and feel valued and successful each day.

Most disappointing experience in a workplace Ive ever had. It started fine and seemed like a good place to grow and spend a long time at, considering my passion for cannabis. It took me way too long, mostly due to lies from upper management, to realize there is no room for growth in this company. The higher-ups mostly hire close friends, barely regarding their experience, and it leads to nepotism and animosity between departments. 
Communication and transparency wont be experienced if you work here. They give less than marginal raises on a biannual basis and dont tell you how much the raise will be until the day you receive it. 
If you want clear cut information on your pay, look elsewhere. They bring on new hires with a higher hourly rate than people who have been there for a long time. 
If you truly have a passion for cannabis, keep looking. Have self respect and avoid this company. 

A typical day at work, involve doing one of these task all day until you got off, Pulling leaves, trimming branches, cloning, harvesting or wet/dry cleaning. Pay is only $16 an hour and then goes up to 1650 after you’ve worked there for three months, When in other rules were you expected to do similar labor you get paid 18 to 20 bucks an hour. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people not management, but my coworkers who were also in entry-level like me management was typically only A available when you were in trouble or during the morning meetings to the associates. They don’t believe in writeups either just instant termination and then they wonder why they cannot keep in any employees… bad pay and no warnings when firing.. if you’ve worked cultivation before and know that the job is for you I’d recommend going to a different company that’s gonna pay you more money and you might have a little bit of stability. 

The job itself is very easy if you have been in customer service for your entire career. The company is still very new and it shows from the initial interview. The work culture in reality was very toxic and it is obvious even to the customers. Management gets away with everything, and if you are one of their favorites, they do to. My favorite part of the job was educating and helping customers and patients, and having coworkers have your back to help when needed. Mostly great teamwork amongst the sales floor staff. There really wasn't a typical day at work because the influx of customers drastically changed daily. The hardest part of the job was not having enough staff, so some people had to work harder to make up for it and the lack of communication. I learned a bit about cannabis but mostly about reading people better to help them find what they need.

Job seems enjoyable at first and is cool to see bud being grown on that scale. Quickly you realize there is zero growth opportunities and you are just another number to them. They are quick to fire people over anything, insanely high turnover rate, new people every couple weeks. Very few people have been there longer than a few months. Point system set up for your failure and points given for everything even if it’s out of your control: you get sick, family emergency, car problems, bad weather, doctors appointments, etc. Not to mention negligence and unsafe working conditions, low pay, and favoritism in management. This place will use you and suck all the life out of you till you are just a shell of a human and can’t take the toxic environment anymore. To which they hope you quit so they don’t have to go through their petty process of firing you over anything or nothing. My advice is run, far far away from this place. 

C3 opened a retail store in Portland only to close it within 6 months and lay everyone off without notice. They based our inventory off of what purchasers across the country chose rather than listening to us local cannabis industry professionals to suggest stocking products that our clients would actually purchase. Their choices on product purchasing is what ultimately led to the rash decision to close this store due to underwhelming business take off. The lack of sales was based solely on their poor choices in our product selection. Had they listened to the employees who worked in the shop rather than management based on the other side of the country, the Portland retail location would have thrived.
