CANNA PROVISIONS

Most employees here are heavy cannabis users, so the 40% discount and incredible variety of products is a big draw. The starting pay is also better than average for retail jobs in the area, so this company may be a good fit for some. However, there are numerous issues to contend with. There has been a big turnover in management. They are pressured from the owners, who the put pressure on the supervisors, who then put pressure on the rank and file workers. Each shift starts with a summary of yesterday's sales figures and today's goal, then employees are told what particular infraction might get them written up or fired on that particular day; it's a bit heavy handed at times. The job also requires, although not stated in the job postings or at your interview, that housekeeping is part of your job, unless you are a cashier (serious double standard). That means sweeping, dusting, mopping, cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming etc. Management does not use a professional cleaning service. There is also virtually no job training other than another employee showing you what to do, and usually someone who may have only been there a few weeks longer than you. The managers and supervisors are constantly contradicting each other regarding standard operating procedures, so be prepared to defend yourself when questioned about something you did. Lastly, this is not a covid-19 safe environment. Employees very often cluster together in very close proximity to each other, in a rather small space. Everyone wears masks and gloves, but it is too small a space to accommodate the number of employees on duty at any given time, and customers in the showroom as well. 
So, buyer beware. It could be a good job for some, but a somewhat toxic environment that may not be suitable for others. I believe that this is a fair analysis and challenge management to counter.

I worked at Canna Provisions from the first month of their opening, for 2.5 years, until the day I moved across the country. A company is not one person but it is the combination of the administration, the coworkers, the customers, the inventory and security team, the managers, and the attitudes that each person brings to the table. 

Self-advocating is extremely important in any situation but moreso in a company with a large staff and the possibility of miscommunication. I was able to help support the store as a manager and assistant manager through COVID, but to do that, I made sure to ask the staff about their lives/families and allow them to advocate for what they needed. 

When my time came and I needed to go back to school full time, others came to my aid and I was able to gracefully step down from assistant manager, and shift into the accounting department. I kept a position at Canna while I finished my associates degree, purely because I advocated for myself before I was too stressed to handle both school and management. 

This company can give you all of the tools and advice they possibly can, but no one can read minds and so the best way to succeed in this company is to be heard, communicate constantly, and on busy Saturdays - everyone can get a little stressed! 

I loved this job more than words can express and it was thanks to all the different coworkers in all of the different departments. 

The work environment is probably one of the most toxic i’ve ever worked in and that’s saying something because i’ve worked in places with high schoolers and college kids employed. everybody acts nice to peoples faces and behind their backs they spend their time tearing them apart. people hear you say one thing and play telephone passing it on as something completely different to stir up trouble. management doesn’t listen to suggestions at all nor do they make any decisions to benefit the wellbeing of the customers which should be their main priority, not making money. i’ve been in the industry for 3 years now and i’ve never seen anything like this. they don’t scratch anybody’s backs but their own. and let’s not forget to mention they forced me to resign because of a personal issue which I TRIED getting in contact with 3 different people about and got no answers. empty promises, unfair treatment, and getting constantly backed into corners is what you’ll get working here. the only time i ever enjoyed was working outside as security where nobody bothered me. you did me a favor cannaprovisions. you might’ve screwed me financially but mentally and emotionally you just saved me a lot of scars.  

Worked here for almost 3 years, kept getting moved around to 2 different stores before finally settling down at the store I was hired for, a year and a half later. Schedules kept getting changed, hours added without my consent on my off days. Kept getting promised that once new people were hired I'd be able to have the schedule that worked best for me. 2 New people got hired and both actually get scheduled for the shifts that I was told I would get. This continued for months, with my pleas to upper management and HR being given the runaround, or me otherwise being accused of "just being difficult."

My supervisors literally said to coworkers on my days off "This is a p*ssing match and we're gonna win. He's gonna work what WE want."

I physically could not be there the days they kept scheduling me for, yet it was my problem to work out. 

Overall not a great experience. Gave me a chance to get into the industry and see how the sausage was made. I learned firsthand that a toxic work environment can make even the most fun job, miserable.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Knowing that I had helped our guests find exactly what they needed.   I took pride in knowing that I had made their life’s journey better❤️

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I actually never felt stressed at Canna.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We had  a friendly , professional and knowledgeable staff.   If one of us did not have the answer to a guests question, we could always depend on a coworker to gain the answers to those questions.  We all worked together. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
 I always enjoyed my position at Canna.  Helping customers,  being crossed trained was a big plus.  Helping customers find exactly what they needed. Answering all the questions and customer concerns.  Educations and Training  made it so easy .  I enjoyed working with such a great crew.

At Canna Provisions (and in the cannabis industry), every day is different. A typical day in the marketing department we're usually going from creating graphics for ads to rearranging displays in store to analyzing spreadsheets to planning events. Constantly striving to do more, be as thoughtful and data driven as possible, and do better next time. The culture is: we are all in this together. We're all here to get the job done, work hard and do the best we can. We have such a strong team in place of people who want to grow together. Days fly by, we're more organized and proactive than ever, and I'm excited to come to work every day! 

I've enjoyed my time at Canna Provisions, and getting to know and help so many people that love cannabis as much as I do. Getting to help customers find products that truly help them is an amazing feeling, and something I'm proud of. 

Working at Canna has been an amazing experience for me, and look forward to continuing to grow my career with the company. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with such a great team, and talking about cannabis all day with people. 

It is a fast paced environment, moreso that most retail shops, so if you're not up for a challenge and fast pace, this may not be for you. 

Management here is confusing and it’s hard to know which policies to follow or who to report to. I was also not informed of my schedule and was given a schedule that was undesirable. This would have been fine except for the fact that new employees are forced to stand outside in freezing weather with little to no accessories and equipment given by the employer. “Hot hands” are all they give you to endure below freezing weather. Also, the curbside is an unorganized and impersonal process that NO other dispensary around follows. Would not recommend.

Who wouldn’t be happy selling weed all day!?!  Great people to work for and with! Always watching out for their employees in cold and hot weather! I know, I work them both! We offer a personal guiding experience that I don’t think any other dispensary does. Everyone’s always happy, smiling and talking about weed! The customers I’ve talked with, love the store and will keep coming back because of the friendly environment we offer. 

amazing store manager , not fair with disability they’ll give you accommodations then later on have issues with it and find ways to reprimand you, lay you off or fire you. Definitely not an equal opportunity employer. Not as diverse as they want you to think. Favoritism is a huge thing in this company. Hours are bad. One location is very slow not much to do , the other is very small and overwhelming, they expect you to do other people’s job for one pay not worth it. Find another place. Don’t let them exploit you. You deserve better.
