Kush21 Recreational Cannabis

Every single person told me to stay far away from this place but I needed a job. While working here we had no store management, no support and constant miscommunication. This company is so unorganized and more worried about making money and purchasing new storefronts than supporting the ones they already have. Not to mention they don't have HR, benefits and refuse to pay their workers the industry standard wadges. The one good thing that they do is allow their budtenders to keep their own tips. I was not a budtender so this didn't really help me any. The hiring manager is overworked and completely unorganized. If someone such as myself speaks up about issues they would always say "We will look into that and get back to you" but I was rarely met with resolution and a clear answer. Some budtenders were extremely knowledgeable and had been in the industry a long time and some were brand new with no educational training at all. They do not value their employees or invest in new ones. No raises, no employee discount (it's the same as the discount they have for customers aka a sale that isn't really a sale because they just make the core price higher, allegedly.) and requesting a day off is like pulling teeth. Everyone is treated as disposable which is why they can't keep a staff. Kush21 is going to run all the small mom and pop's out of the industry and hike up the prices of everything one by one. If you believe strongly in cannabis and actually making a difference and helping people, don't work here. Profit over people. 

On a typical workday I come in ready to go I get into my designated position and get straight to work.  Kush has taught me a lot not just about cannabis but just elevating as a whole I get to see a business start from the ground up.Let’s not add in the fact I have the best boss I’ve ever had he’s stern but personable and realistic.! I feel like there’s nothing he can’t fix or solve.  Our culture is a little bit different than other dispensary’s we are way more chill.! Sometimes when I go into other other dispensaries the vibe is just off I wanna go to a place where I come And feel the “one love bob Marley vibe” and that’s who we are and people tell us they appreciate that. There’s no real hard part about the job just show up and as long as all the moving parts are moving then everyday is literally a good day.! I enjoy most seeing the people go home happy ready to get baked or even if they’re coming for a little natural pain relief.! This job makes me wanna keep going and see where it takes me I’m thankful for kush 21 as a whole. 

I have been working at Kush 21  for Almost 2 years and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company culture is supportive and collaborative, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and encouraged to contribute their ideas. Management is approachable and genuinely cares about employee development and well-being.

The opportunities for growth and learning are abundant, and the team is filled with talented and motivated individuals who are always willing to help each other succeed. The work-life balance is excellent, and the company's commitment to innovation and excellence is evident in everything we do.

Overall, Kush21 is a fantastic place to work, and I am proud to be part of such a dynamic and forward-thinking organization.

Toxic, unorganized, greedy corporation. They have all the people they need for a successful business but they don’t utilize any of those people. Store managers and inventory managers are made to do stuff that should be marketing’s place or e-commerce’s place to do. If you don’t sacrifice your free time/life they will bully and scrutinize you until you quit. They have no respect for their employees, only the revenue thats produced. There’s no job security or benifits. Everyone’s replaceable in their eyes.

Employees aren’t held responsible for being late for shifts coming back to shifts with the same excuse each time
No paid time off
No benefits
Managements isn’t professional
Schedule always posted late
Pay comes late 
Poor communication 
Favoritism 
Lot of promises that don’t get follow through with
Security is a joke
Picking choosing who to ban not banning people who should be banned for same reasons others are
Pay is low
Pick n choose which employees get samples 
Managers give customers discounts bc they know them but not others
Open every day of the year the owner doesn’t care 
Short breaks 

Working at Kush21 has been one of the greatest professional experiences of my life. I’ve proudly served as a Store Manager for nearly 9 years, and every day I’m reminded why I chose this company. The culture here is unmatched — supportive leadership, a strong sense of community, and real opportunities for growth. I’ve watched us expand, innovate, and elevate the cannabis retail space while staying grounded in integrity and customer care. Kush21 has not only allowed me to lead, but to thrive. I come to work every day passionate and proud of the team I represent.

“When you love where you work, it doesn’t feel like a job — it feels like purpose.”


wonderful relaxed atmosphere and knowledgeable people who all teach each other for the growth of the companyto better service the clientele

the average day to day you get to see and meet wonderful people who are there to get a little smile added to there day 

Management is professional, smart and considerate top tier 

The workplace culture is pioneering a new path in the industry never seen before 

The hardest part of the job is the fast paced go go go but very easy 

The most enjoyable part for me was feeling like no one else in the job did it like me have people waiting and lined up 

The biggest challenges at Kush21 are the lack of support and the communication style from upper management. Favoritism is common, and employees often feel singled out or unsupported. Management has a tendency to yell when problems arise, which creates a tense atmosphere. Schedules are sometimes posted with only a day’s notice, and even simple questions can trigger irritation from supervisors. The work can be rewarding, but the leadership culture makes it difficult to feel stable or respected.

The customers were fun to work with, but the drama. If you go here it's like a high-school with the drama. Morning and night crew usually didn't get along that well. The moment you do want to file a complaint though you feel like you're joining in on the rumor crew. The customer service of other bud tenders gets you the feeling they don't want to be there. 

Management is toxic and full of drama, favoritism, nepotism, some of the shadiest secrets you can imagine, and more. No room for growth or advancement due to constant criticism rather than rewarding for your hard work. If you want to work here be prepared to not be allowed to speak your mind or show emotion, or allowed any grace on difficult days or when you make mistakes.
