Maggies Farm Marijuana

Like the title says this was the worst, most chaotic job I have ever worked. In the two years I was there I had seven different General Managers because of how incredibly high the turn-over rate at this company is (longest lasted only 5 months). This company is so mismanaged and there was absolutely no communication between the dispensary and corporate side of the business and that quite often lead to hostile/stressful work environments. At least once every two weeks a member of the staff would walk out or quit without notice which often times left us understaffed and forced a lot of us to work over-time for which we were not compensated for. On top of that, tips were collected in a tip pool where upper management and salaried employees were given a portion of those tips. If you used a sick day or a paid vacation day you were given writes ups form management upon returning. A co-worker of mine (who was wonderful at their job and absolutely fun to be around) was fired for requesting two weeks off after their child contracted Covid. There was a lot internal fraternization between the Budtenders and certain members of upper management which lead to nepotism and more hostile working environments for the rest of the staff. Vendors and Security staff were not paid on time or the proper amount. The vast majority of the corporate side of management had little to no experience in the industry prior to working at Maggies Farm which lead to a lot of infractions and hand holding. They, at hiring, promised hourly staff a yearly raise but never followed through with that promise. They also claimed to offer certain benefits such as: Health, Dental, and 401K matching at 5% but, would not provide them after 90 days of working and would give blatant run-a-round excuses as to why you were not receiving those benefits. My personal and professional reputation has been damaged working for this company and I would strongly advise anyone looking for a job in this industry to apply literally anywhere else.

As a former Assistant General Manager, the company had a horrible track record of overworking their employees, constantly changing the day to day operation of the stores, and terrible communication. In addition to that, any positive ideas that are brought to light to improve efficiency are quickly dismissed. If you are not a 'yes man' for the company, beware. I saw many of my peers terminated for no fault, passive-aggressive corporate management with no idea as to the day-to-day operation of the stores, and constant scrambling to avoid many compliance issues. 

While the company itself is backwards, I did enjoy my time managing a wonderful staff that is the only thing that allowed me to work there for more than a year. The people that work in-store are those that have earned Maggie's a positive reputation despite the treatment they receive from the corporate organization. Without the corporate 'structure,' working for Maggie's would have been a joy and I would have stayed.

Having three Human Resource Directors, three Accountants, two Chief Operational Officers, two Retail Directors, all quit and be replaced within the year and some change that I worked for them illustrated how poorly the organization is ran. The owner parks across the street to watch the dispensary on very busy days and only calls to give negative feedback, never praising the millions that are being made for him.

Overall the corporate culture of Maggie's Farm should be avoided.

My husband and I were offered this position when we desperately needed a job, and the universe gifted us maggies farm. The florence location is full of fun and amazing people who are easy to joke and laugh with, accepting of my pronouns (they/them) and make me leave work daily excited for the next step. we show up and put in the work and are constantly taken care of with members of management asking if we need water or anything else to be ready and set for the day. if something happens they immediately are on top of it and making sure we are taken care of. not once have i worked at a company i could see me building a career out of until i was able to work here and support a company and industry that i truly believe in and love. if you work here all i can say now is welcome to the family, come say hi and i’ll give you a hug!!

Long story short, this is a good place to work if you aren't the sole provider of a household. You don't really make enough money to support a family, or even just yourself really. But if you have a roommate this will do fine.
The job was great up until my general manager left. Once my GM was replaced this job became pretty awful. I got promoted and then instantly fired about a month or so after the promotion, with no accurate explanation. I was fed stretched truths as to why I was terminated, and you think a company that says they "care a lot about you" would be respectful of the time they put into you to see you grow, but apparently not at this company. You're seen as "easily disposable" once you get a promotion somehow.

You will meet a variety of people and make lasting friendships here. Working with marijuana is fun and Maggie's is a great stepping stone for anyone interested in getting started in the marijuana industry. For anyone looking to climb the ladder, beware. Like any other corporate retail, the struggle for position is quite cut-throat and management seems realtively inexperienced in basic leadership. Beyond that, hold your intellectual property close to your chest or at least expect to give it for free for the good of the company.

The job itself isn’t terrible if you can stand the smell/sight of bud rot. However, I found the “rules” often changed and were arbitrary, i.e. not being allowed to bring your lunch box or purse into the break room with you on your lunch break one day and it being ok the next, being threatened with a write up for your cell phone on your desk after another member of management helped you connect said cell phone to the wifi, along with other confusing and oftentimes demeaning actions from the management staff. I’m not sure if these issues stem from incompetence or inexperience but it’s unfortunately at the expense of their employees. The pay wasn’t great either, many other trim jobs in Pueblo pay .50-1.00 more per hour.

I have been really enjoying my position at Maggies. Most days I am a cashier which entails upselling guests, cashing them out and making sure they have a great experience in the store. Some days the scheduling does switch up and I am outside scanning ID's or helping guests make orders on the kiosk. Other days I'm building online and kiosk orders but most days cashiers are needed so I am put on a register. The managers are great so far and I enjoy all of the associates I work with. The guests and associates are the best part of the job, a very close second is the fact that I get to sell a product I actually enjoy!

If you are just looking to collect a check for satisfactory work, that's what you'll get. If you are looking to prove your value with dedication, professionalism, vigor, integrity and honesty, Maggie's would love to have you join the team. Maggie's is a rapidly growing company and there is more than enough opportunities for advancement, you just really have to shine! It can seem tough at times but the pay off is worth it. The culture is wonderful, once a month we all gather to share a meal paid for by the company. Maggie's is also generous when it comes to paid time off and overtime. Our Christmas parties are hosted at the Broadmoor and this year we have been invited to a company picnic at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Best part is our buds! Our 2018 harvest was such a huge success!

I would “strongly” recommend not working here. There’s literally “zero” job security. You can be let go at any time for arbitrary reasons. The absolutely embarrassing turnover rate is something you truly have to see to believe.

Nepotism runs rampant in this company. So if you’re friends with, or dating a manager, or the owner then you should do just fine. You’ll get promoted in no time. And you can expect any “bonuses” to come down your way. If you’re just a regular hard worker than you can expect to be consistently passed up for such things until you get fed up and move on.

Management has changed 3 times in less than a year, no employee already there has been promoted to management they decided to get people from out of state, or other places first. They basically throw new hires into the fire first day with literally no training. Being super busy helps but not when there's 25 people who don't know what to do. Pay is not worth what you have to do and working 3 positions because they cannot fill a schedule makes this place horrible. Some of the people here are very good people though so I just hope that one day we can all leave this disgusting, degrading job.
