If you are looking for a professional, communicative,  and helpful environment that is looking to boost morale and guarantee you a sense of job security. Please go somewhere else and stay far away from here. 
I was excited for this job being heavily experienced in commercial cannabis for over a decade. I was brought on as the new nursery manager. My job would be to ensure good quality clone care and add an element of relief to the rest of the vegetative managers that were already overseeing other departments.
Little did I know the complete gravity of the situation I was being brought into. 
Upon my first week working here, I was introduced to the fact that I would become much more than what I was originally hired to be. In addition to Managing the Nursery, I was given the extra task of becoming a sales manager. Keep in mind, that was never mentioned to me initially during the hiring process and never included in any job description I ever recieved. Being exposed to their, at first, intimidating and intricate spread sheets. I was told it would be a learning curve and that I will become more acquainted with them in time. That would be the start of what would continue to be the lack of training I would receive throughout my employment here. Within days, I would be chastised by upper management for not understanding certain elements of how their spreadsheets work even when nobody was there to teach me. Too ask questions to better your understanding, I would be met with disdainful comments or it would appear inconvenient for me to even waste their time with asking. On top of that, by week two I was being pressured by management to start working a full 50 hours a week no exceptions. Although I appreciate the push for more hours, I had responsibilities that prevented me being able to work that much time which i stated multiple times beforehand. Not to mention that the original job posting and initial hiring was stated that I work 40 hours and nothing more. 
Out of all this, my biggest gripe about Dacut would be their communication, there is none.
Being placed in sales management, you will be in "direct contact" with other senior sales staff that are anything but direct. A typical day there would be to stress over upcoming orders, sending texts after texts for hours on end with no response or people sending your calls directly to voice-mail. Meanwhile, you will be waiting on answers that you will need immediately to remedy situations, only to never hear back from a single person for at least 3 to 6 hours. When you address this is, as I have, dozens of times to directors or lead management, they will either laugh or give you an attitude by making it seem it is your fault. You will hear things like "Yeah, they're always like that" or "just keep bothering them, maybe they'll answer eventually." This wouldn't be as big as an issue if it weren't for the fact that it is you who will be solely blamed for these situations. Keep in mind that the people you are supposed to be in contact with are on their phones 24/7. You will see this behavior and realize that they are intentionally ignoring your calls and leaving you to the wolves. Not to mention sales, but any bad Intel on sprays or nutrient feeds that you were never taught will be solely your fault as well. 
You are not respected here as an employee in the least. You will have unruly employees that cuss you out in broad daylight, in the hallways when they're having a bad day and it will be swept under the rug like it's tolerable. Any checking in with your supposed team will be met with grief and will be chastised for asking any questions on plant care or your personal numbers for upcoming sales. Upper managent make a joke of new employees and will openly gossip about how much they do not like you to others. The entire vibe of this place, as many cannabis businesses are notorious for, is that it feels like one big boys club that you were never invited to. If you are not liked immediately on your first day, it is like they are praying on your downfall. I thought I was going into work, not attending Jr high school. Unfortunately, this place has an extremely toxic environment that is bent on watching you fail. 
By the end of my "Nursery management" job, I would be in charge of Nursery management, sales management, compliance management, vegetative/mom management, and running a secondary location on top of all that. I was terminated without cause, Dacut being the first job in over ten years that I've ever been terminated from. These people are completely unprofessional and rude. You will not last long here, especially management. They will abuse you until it is time to blame you and push your work load onto the next poor person to repeat the same process.
Stay clear of this place. It is not worth it. 

To begin this nightmare I will tell you they will say exactly what you want to hear just to get you in. 
They will not relay your availability and the managers will still press you and give you a hard time about your previously agreed to availability.
The training is non existent. You have to really know how to observe versus being taught because these managers don't have time to train. If there are any managers. Be careful though you could be learning from someone else who doesn't know and has only been on the job four days and assigned to train you.
The inventory is a complete disaster. Out of compliance on so many things. Orders just being delivered whenever no method to it at all. Unorganized in every aspect. 
The poor inventory department had all of like two people running it. Million dollar inventory ran by two people and no manager seems like an impossible task. 
I'd often hear how many things these inventory personnel were required to do and I would wonder how they could find the time to do it all basically alone.
Will the company listen to your concerns? No they will belittle you to your face. They will talk trash about your performance knowing full well you were not trained in any formal capacity. Knowing fully well the culture of their stores is to throw you into the the deep end with no life jacket, then throw oil on the top and light it on fire. You better truly be able to thrive in pure chaos.
They have family members for sure and probably friends that work for them who receive better treatment than regular staff. 
Can you say nepotism?
Honestly one of the most pretty and unprofessional places I have ever worked or experienced. 
Run far away. Just don't.

A typical day was coming in and not knowing if you would have 1 coworker or  7 because of people constantly quitting, not scheduling properly or getting fired, not knowing if a break would be happening or not, and if you’re walking into a day when a manager is in a bad mood…. good luck. (Tyler) the worst Work/life balance is non existent, you are punished with less hours if you refuse to cover shifts or call in for illnesses but rarely even thanked for covering when you do. Most of the coworkers are amazing, but they cannot keep good management. Upper management feels threatened when anyone decent steps into lower management roles and finds any excuse to fire them. Upper management also consistently talk down on every single employee to each other, constantly pick and play favorites, and direct employees to practice shady business from time to time. The pay for the work you do and what you deal with is laughable $14hr The only enjoyable things were some coworkers, and a few regular customers. We always have deals that we dont carry in store. Stay away from this place if you care about your own wellbeing. You can give this place all of your time, holidays worked, any effort and passion of sales and they will still find a way to show you your nothing. This dispensary preys on the poor and lower end communities. If you have respect and morals, stay far away from these guys. Breaks are barely given and you are not compensated for doing your job. They hire you on as full time, but they only give you 18 to 20 hours a week because they don't want to pay you the benefit.

The pay for the work you do and what you deal with is laughable. The only enjoyable things were some coworkers (until they all quit/were fired because of the insanity), and a few regular customers. We also used to run out of money for the registers on a regular basis, but it was never because management forgot to stock us…. it was always blamed on employees stealing. Why own and run a business if you’re gonna assume everyone is stealing from you all the time? Learn how to count or just keep your money.  Stay away from this place if you care about your own wellbeing. 

Pros
DACUT offers a fast-paced, professional environment where motivated employees are trusted with real responsibility. There is strong exposure to multiple areas of the business, including operations, HR, compliance, and retail support, which creates meaningful opportunities for growth and skill development.

Leadership is accessible and encourages accountability, communication, and problem-solving.

No two days are the same, and the work is engaging for those who enjoy variety and contributing to a growing organization.

Overall
DACUT is a strong workplace for individuals who are dependable, proactive, and interested in growing alongside a company that values effort, adaptability, and collaboration.

I have gained a significant amount of knowledge in a relatively short time, including inventory processes, sales, and fulfillment. One of the benefits here is the employee discounts. Management's communication style is direct and to the point. I believe one of the most challenging aspects of the job is stocking the walls, as the spacing of the pegs does not accommodate all packaging sizes, making it difficult to maintain a visually appealing display. The most enjoyable part of this job is learning about all new products, assisting customers in finding what they need, and ensuring their satisfaction from start to finish. I am hopeful for growth opportunities within the company in the near future. I also enjoy contributing to merchandising and creating visually appealing displays. The work environment is fast-paced, with a constant stream of tasks. My colleagues have been extremely welcoming and helpful in addressing my questions and familiarizing me with the store.


I genuinely love my job and feel incredibly grateful to be part of such a supportive and positive workplace. From day one, I’ve been surrounded by coworkers who are not only hardworking but also kind, respectful, and always willing to help each other succeed. It truly feels like a team where everyone’s effort is valued.

Our managers play a huge role in creating this environment. They lead with professionalism, understanding, and encouragement, making sure every employee feels heard and appreciated. Their guidance motivates me to grow, improve my skills, and take pride in the work I do each day.

What I appreciate most is the culture — it’s welcoming, collaborative, and full of people who care about doing their best while supporting one another. It makes coming to work something I actually look forward to.

I’m proud to be part of this team and would highly recommend this workplace to anyone looking for a positive atmosphere, strong leadership, and amazing coworkers.
