Cookies Retail

Very unprofessional on all levels.  Typical work day your gonna breathe lots of powdery mold, look at stuff that needs be addressed or done correctly which your not allowed to do. Zero room for growth in the company. They don't even discuss your hourly pay in person before you start they send you an email with an offer to accept or deny its a chess game from the begging.  What I learned is not to consume any cookie products here in Florida after seeing what I seen going on there hands on.  The hardest part of the job is the pay they offer its basically nothing.  The most enjoyable part of the job  was the IPM crew hats off to them. With out that team cookies in Florida would never pull of anything. There work should be recognized and good flower starts  with clean genetics , moms and clones which is not the case in that facility.

Cookies is the the epitome of overfunded, underperforming, mediocre, corporate cannabis. It's run by people who have barely picked up a joint let alone even smoke pot. They know nothing about the industry and it shows in every poor decision they make.   We were promised holiday bonuses and perks we never received, we were told we'd be offered raises above the competition but that never happened. Our discount barely covered local taxes. Safety was a joke. The cookies IP was subpar at best because the people who picked the growers didn't know anything.  Come tax time, a corporate company, with over a dozen locations, managed to screw up w2s for multiple employees, blatant carelessness. I can go on and on. 
Working at a California cookies might be a different experience but its the same corporate beast that doesn't care about its employees.  STEER CLEAR 

The job itself is great! Co-workers are great! Downsides: this location barely ever has product to sell so customers are upset about that. Management does not communicate anything. New policies or procedures. Never any positive feedback. No discussions before getting write ups-- just straight to being written up. Your hours can change without notice. Mine were cut in half with no explanation. Also expect your schedule to be inconsistent. Opens, mids, closes--all in one week. We have gone up to a month with out gratis which is supposed to be one of the pros of a budtending job. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Fresno Cookies is the chill environment that has been created here. As well as the percs of the job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of the job I would have to say would be the rude customers, but that's about it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is a super chill one as long as you stay productive. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day would be helping customers get the products they are looking for and sending them off happy.

A company where if you are employed at store level you do not matter at all. They also act very community friendly, until they open a store. I was sent home early every day, except 8 times, in 7 months because business is so slow. Nobody likes Cookies Corvallis 

Worked for this company for a year. worst experience I've had in cannabis. I was expected to do my job without any leadership. Management would leave after 12, would come in at 9-10 sometimes. We would be asked to run to our own banks to get cash or change for registers. We weren't allowed to clock in even if we were at the door waiting for our clock in time.

The only good perk is the samples each week, other than that, the management is a nightmare to deal with. If you need any accommodation they won’t budge. Very lazy nonchalant low effort staff and management. No potential for real growth.  Cut all full time employees down to part time with barely 20 hour a week for management and even less for budtenders. The quality or the product has gone way down hill. So many better cannabis companies have to work for. Don’t believe the hype of a name. Stay away. 

The budtenders were all women, all the guys sat in the back or in reception. The budtenders never received the tips while the managers kept them to themselves. If you didnt look the part you'd get sent home (nails, hair, makeup). A majority of the budtenders were doing the dirty with upper management because they were money hungry. Because of that there was alot of favoritism. The girls were shady that I worked with, and wasnt great pay for a short amount of hours. Oh and then at the end of the year they do you dirty on your taxes.

Our Team is a family. Truly. We work together and use each others strong points to create a great shift every shift. Our GM keeps us inspired and aware of the places we can go and things we can do in this industry and always takes advantage of teachable/coachable moments. 

As long as you are willing to be all hands on deck, and want to grow… it’ll happen here. Quickly if you really want it. 

Work life balance is great… set your availability and adjustments are typically made without a problem. 

I generally like fast paced environments , but here all you’ll find is a fast paced environment with a bunch of people in the wrong positions. Many here have more than one job because they won’t give hours , but when they do , management is always leaving for their second job and/or hanging out in the office. Then they have the audacity to want answers when they’ve left you and two others alone to manage the whole store. I truly believe that a change in management can benefit this place.
