The usual day to day activities are mostly defanning, cleaning, and taking lowers unless you are on one of the teams that handles cloning and post harvest. It's nothing special, pretty mindless. I was definitely not compensated for my knowledge/experience/effort, though. Most people didn't know how to work directly with the plants, and since turnover is so high, training all of them over and over and making sure they were doing their job correctly was something I had a hard time doing after a while. The culture is absolutely awful.. I personally had to report a higher up of the company for not wearing a mask during the mandate, as he had an entire tour group with him that was not wearing masks. They promote "yes" men, and if you are going to be promoted you knew months in advance as they actively train their prospective promotees before interviews happen. I also had the head grower at the time cuss myself and another coworker out, when he misread the situation we were in entirely. He never made an effort to approach us about it the following day, so I had to tell him how he handled himself was inappropriate a few days after the incident. Just for a few examples of personal issues I had with the company. The culture is perpetuated by the company focusing on a production schedule and the higher ups "making their investment back," something I was told was affecting my ability to get a raise and also affected the amount. The hardest part about the job isn't necessarily the job itself. It's if you are a home grower. They have so many issues with pests and diseases and mold between the two facilities that I was scared to bring something home to my plants every single day. The only nice thing about the job was the hour long lunch.

I was kept as a temp for 6 months without access to benefits due to their regular "hiring freezes". I heard the horror story of them laying off tens of positions right before I was hired.  There was a high turn over especially among management and positions were never replaced. Upper management was getting fired every couple of months. Signs that the company was failing became obvious. Individual accountability, freedom to decide and thrive in our environment became team work, task based tracking down to the minute and time constraints to force us to do the most amount of work in the least amount of time. Had to watch all of our hard work go down the drain and quality of bud greatly decrease, from beautiful dense and healthy buds to entire tables of plants dying. They complained about prices dropping as to why they failed but wanted to add more plants to already crowded tables and more greenhouses to produce more poor quality bud, instead of focusing on quality, correcting their problems and selling at a premium price. But they could never qualify for those prices because of the poor design of the facility and presense of contaminants and mold. Departments began to blend due to lack of employees. We had to do everything even cleaning the toilets and packing the facility up for closure after the company gave us their 2 weeks notice and kicked us all to the curb without our insurance. Two months of severance was given. Direct management and supervisors were down to earth and recognized your hard work. Company had potential and I respected the way they operated at times. But wouldn't recommend this company. Permanently marred their reputation in a lot of people's books.

Too hot for human beings in the grow rooms with hours/schedule set to a rigid full time with no wiggle room. There is no personal connection to be formed. Either you do what they want when they want it or you are old news and out the door. I felt little to no value.

Sometimes I felt like I was in some dytopian factoty written in a novel. White walls, white halls, big locking doors. Nobody knows where anybody is so you go looking door to door, trying to hunt down pelurpose in an almost purposless space.

I gave it a 3 out of 5 because there is joy to be had here working with greenery and having a team to participate in. Sometimes the work is light and enjoyable.

But there is no work culture or feeling of "togetherness". There are walls, doors, barriers between teams and other employees around you based on position or income. There are entire groups of people who are socially ostracized from the rest. It made me sad and sometimes just generally uncomfortable.

I wanted to love this job but personally I couldn't see past these things and had to give up. For some people I'm sure this could be a great first step in connections from the greenery industry but I guess I'm not that person. Grewtful for the opportunity yo try it but I could never do something like this again.



The work is very tideous, upper management and leads are not very hands on in teaching and training new hires the day to day processes, and educating them so they can progress in the company for what's right for them. However if your looking for that Monday thru Friday job security with benefits that's all Fluresh is really good for. Leads and managers in cultivation strive on nepotism, and cultivation in the cannabis industry with fluresh and other companies, are known to be misogynistic, so if your a woman trying to make your mark good luck. Best advice I can give, don't say anything or get personal with anyone. Do your job,go home, And get your money, don't try to move up because it's not worth the blood, sweat, bruises, stress, and tears. If you have kids it's even worse. They won't allow you to work part time in cultivation and there schedule is their schedule. If you have to move things around for your kids it's frowned upon and will come out of the little pto they initially give you. Your pto is frontloaded so once it's used up you'll get disciplined if you miss so many days. Not for new parents or kids in school. Coworkers are lazy and really only work there so they can go to work high and not care about the job. It's easy to get hurt there, because again there's lack of educating employees and people just don't care. 

This company is heading nowhere fast. I've never seen an employer marginalize it's employees the way I see it happening at Fluresh. The opportunity for advancement is slim to none unless you have an established personal relationship with upper management, experience will not take you where you want to go within this company, I've been personally "forgotten about" and "accidentally overlooked" when applying for internal advancement . Most of the management are very young adults in they're 20's with no experience leading employees. The employee turnover rate is extremely high year round with no system in place for ANY kind of raise whatsoever. It is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE for you to be contacted during work hours for any kind of Family emergency that may arise, with instances of co-workers  not being notified for over 30 to 45 minutes (if at all) on occasion myself included in this. The HR supervisor is not fluent in English, written or spoken making addressing any issues or concerns internally a nail biting process. All in all you'd be doing yourself a favor in the long run by passing up employment at Fluresh! 

My first day I was given a locker number and no assigned trainer or any type of direction at all. I finally just asked someone where I even needed to be and eventually was directed on where to go. When I got to the room I was working in, I was told “Pick the big leaves” and that is all. I realized my first week you will need to ask to be trained every day until you feel comfortable. Absolutely no one will help you without you asking them for help first.
If you make any movements outside of your given instructions (that you have to ask for) you will be given a verbal warning. For example, if you need to vomit urgently from an illness they won’t let you stay home for, you will first need to find a manager to give you permission to be excused to use the bathroom to vomit. This is not an exaggeration, it’s just how Fluresh operates. They want to know you are always working at all costs. I once received an urgent phone call in regard to a family member’s worsening health and I was given a verbal warning for accepting a 5 minute and 13 second long call pertaining to this matter. Mind you we are not on any assembly line, we simply pick leaves off plants. So, stepping away does not really affect business. I feel embarrassed to have worked here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The current team I am a part of, and the direct supervisors. They are cohesive, have fun, and are not afraid to work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Watching others being treated poorly by management.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible. Moral is at an all time low, and yet seems to find even lower depths. This attitude starts from the top, and trickles down. There is no legitimate leadership at the top of the administrative ranks. Management will suggest this is due, at least in part, to the current saturation of the cannabis market, and the financial stresses that arise while trying to survive. However, the company is run via the traditionally thought of corporate management model, which includes saying one thing but doing another, squashing independent thought/opinions, not allowing direct supervisors to effectively lead and evaluate their perspective teams, and etc. In short, this is a company I would recommend as a place of work for individuals I DON'T like.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clocking in, work for 4 hours, go to lunch, then clock out at the 8 hour mark. It's a paycheck.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was fired after I made a statement about someone's voice sounding like a muppet after they intentionally made their voice sound like a muppet. They told me it wasn't a big deal but then fired me after not telling me or giving me any warning or indication that I was going to be fired. I randomly got a call saying that I was fired after I've wrote that 3 months diligently. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When the managers don't look fully into a issue between the co-workers and new employees get stepped on and trampled over by emotional and unprofessional workers who feel intimidated an inferior because of someone else's confidence. False reports are thrown around and accepted at face value without looking deeper into the subject. I am one the best workers that you could have on your team and I was just discarded like a piece of trash.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was decent but the professionalism between the managers and the coworkers dealing with issues is 1 out of 10.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Tending plants or cleaning bathrooms and floors.

I worked here in cultivation for a few months but had to find work elsewhere due to the lack of organization and management. No one communicates between management, none of my managers ever built me up or aided in my training. One manager would tell me to do a task while another would tell me to another task giving the impression that I was off task. My first day I was on my own with NO training. They don’t appreciate their employees, they just want mediocre weed produced in mass quantities. They never give you the time needed to learn the actual job because they want you to move QUICK. The job is in all honesty a glamorized exotic janitor. Our big work projects were never organized or thought through until the day of making work stressful when you’re expected to jump at the crack of a whip without knowing what you should be doing! Then when we weren’t working on projects we were mopping floors all day. This place needs better UPPER management starting with the GM. If you’re reading this and you work there still, I hope it’s getting better! If you take care of your employees, they’ll return the favor. 

This is a job that will leave you breathless the first few weeks before you realize all the cons this place comes with. 

Not only does it feel like the company is moving in a negative direction, the management team here is the definition of a joke. Emails between coworkers and upper management will go unanswered for around 2 weeks, sometimes longer, if at all (looking at you HR). Equipment is constantly breaking and taking far too long to replace. (Tables, squeegees, lights, the walls of the establishment, ect.) At the time of this review, they don't even offer annual raises. It's rare to actually meet and talk with upper management as they are rarely seen (It's surprising how many people couldn't tell you the name or give a physical description of the gentleman in charge of the facility). 

Overall, it offers great benefits and seems very appealing within the first few weeks. However, after the magic wears off, you'll be left with the desire for a company who actually feels like they care about their employees.
