Green Dragon

This is one of the most poorly run companies I have ever worked for. There are no Covid guidelines or protocols after two years of a pandemic. Communication and leadership from their corporate structure is none existent. The safety and well being of employees and customers is put behind getting a buck in the cash register. There is no care for the product that comes out of their own production facility and it shows in the quality of product, which is mediocre to poor. Quick and immediate decisions are made constantly with no regards to the store, their customers, the success of their employees or the quality of the offerings to their customers. The only saving grace was the store staff which were hard working people doing their best when put in an untenable work environment while knowing their concerns and well being did not matter to corporate or ownership. The ownership family would come in for visits and order the staff around like servants with no appreciation for the hard work they put in and also are not even cannabis users so know absolutely nothing about the products they offer to customers. Business is business but this was the most blantant greedy company I have ever worked for taking advantage of an educated consumer base while not educating staff or customers on the benefits actually possible from Cannabis. Lastly, they have no regard for MED regulations and literally put their staff at risk to not only lose their job but their ability to work within the Cannabis industry.

the job is brain dead easy, pay is pretty good compared to other harder jobs. But a dress code that that requires you to wear green dragon clothes it is beyond lame. you cant work part time  or have any preference on days off or time of day you can work. They need you available for all of the working hours and 7 days a week.  you will be lucky if you even get 2 days off in a row. lots of down time in-between rushes but instead of being a relaxed environment where you can talk with co workers and idk maybe have some fun activates to build team moral, You BETTER make yourself look busy at all times no matter how clean or stocked or organized the store is you have to be doing something always. I was more of an underpaid cleaning lady than I was a budtender. Oh and you better not show up to your constantly changing schedule over 5 minutes unless you want to get written up. Tips are pooled which is fine but the store is soooooo over staffed that the tips end up being pathetic.

Words cannot describe the incompetence from the upper management in this company. They will hire you at a lower title and a lower wage than what matches your skills and then they will have you accomplish tasks that are outside of your position meanwhile they will also make promises of promotion and pay raises but then they never do anything for you. They string you along and then when you complain, you get told that you are being too ambitious. 
Upper management rants up and down about not hiring friends or family due to nepotism but the whole operations team in Florida are best friends and have work together at another dispensary in the past. Seems very hypocritical to me. 
In summary I would not recommend this company to anybody and if you interview for them run and run far away they will pay me minimum they do not reimburse you for your background check even though you were told by them that you will be reimbursed. Any expenses take forever to come back I'm still waiting on mine and it's been 8 months.

I was hired at the grow location on Wyandot. There is no break room, management is passive-aggressive & superficial, and the double standards at this place are REAL. With that said, they are pretty flexible with the schedule and time off if you need it. The conditions there led some of the other employees to try and start a workers union for safer practices and better pay. Therefore, management transferred everyone that worked here to a third-party employment contractor called StaffZone, to avoid the possibility of a union contract. So the terms of advancement or raises are now established through StaffZone, and that's kind of annoying. This would be a good job for anyone who just needs some quick experience, or is in-between jobs. The work is fairly easy, and if you work well & mind your own business, management will leave you alone. Me personally though, I would never work here again.

DO NOT work for this company. If you are looking for a quick gig and have no other opportunities, get started with Green Dragon but make sure to keep searching for a better job as this company will not provide you with a career. The owner's decision-making is erratic and they are very concerned with their branding and outward appearance but do not care about their employees. You are thinking to yourself: If I show up early and stay late, always cover shifts, never call out sick.. surely they will recognize what I do? There are 5 people (really just 2) who make decisions and they could care less about how good of a worker you are. They are growing as quickly as possible to get market share and eventually sell the company for a profit. In the meantime, they will save money by paying employees as little as possible. 

My typical day at work is filled with fun projects, so fun - in fact, that time passes TOO fast. I love how structured and organized the company is, coming from a fairly unorganized company I'm extremely grateful. I never feel lost, confused, or bored. There's always work to do! We have events almost every month, where we come together as a company and celebrate our hard work! Lets not forgot the occasional goodies you receive for a job well done! Most importantly, my co-workers are FIRE. They are the nicest, most understanding people I've ever worked with. Communication is fluid, and spirits are always high.  I would highly recommend this job to anyone that wants to grow in and with the marijuana industry. 

Working at Green Dragon afforded many responsibilities to learn, this being a result of all managers and directors being clueless. There was very little respect of me as a person or of my time. Lots of big egos, biggest of all being the owner and his airheaded son. HR acts like a teenage girl, very clicky. You have no control over your own department. There is no culture and there is no bonding. Everyone is miserable and complains all day. Sink or swim. There is also no one ensuring the compliance of any of the operation. In the cannabis industry this is dangerous because of how individuals are licensed. The company banks on being able to pawn off compliance breaches on individuals instead of the company. Have seen company fire multiple people to save itself.

This company is run by a 3 person ownership group. It is a flat org without departments as all positions report directly to the ownership group. This ownership group micro-manages every aspect of every employees position, creating a culture of fear and negativity in the workplace. As an employee, you are not looked at as a valuable asset, rather you are a looked at as a disposable cog in an ill-functioning machine. Due to the rampant fear the ownership creates in the office, any employee will be quick to put you in a negative light in order to save their own image/position. This is especially true of the current Marketing Director. Avoid being under her management at any cost. In fact, avoid this entire company if you value being in a professional environment.

The only good thing was working with a great staff at the store level. Everything else was terrible, I've worked for plenty of other dispensaries but this one was quite a bit crazy. Ownership and corporate only thought of themselves and rarely seemed to care about the stores. Samples were rare and kept strictly for corporate people. Other stores got a penny joint for birthday but where corporate was they got a penny 1/8. Often left the stores without much protection during this co-vid pandemic. It took half the staff for them to start following the CDC guidelines and even then they ignored many of the guidelines.

If you’re looking for somewhere to work where you’re not appreciated and underpaid, this is the perfect job for you. Owners are stingy and penny pinchers so a raise is out of the question yet they want you to do more for the company for their own benefits. Corporate is beyond lazy and never get anything done so pretty much everything was left to the store to handle. And the way they handled COVID is a joke since NOTHING was done about it until a few months ago. And all they did was put some sorry pieces of plastic in front of the registers. People are nice though made some good friends there but that’s honestly the only good thing I can say about this company. Not even the weed is good it’s just stems and leaves.
