Mr. Nice Guy

MNG will tell you everything you want to hear and then when you actually need support they will abandon you and then turn on you. In my time they lost at least 5 other GM’s. The upper management at this company are clueless, petty and focus on irrelevant factors instead of providing positive feedback and encouraging their employees. If you work here as a manager, be prepared for your bosses to ignore your point of view and make pointless decisions that lose customers. They basically did nothing to help with COVID as a company and left it to the managers of each shop to fend for themselves to create solutions to help keep people safe, offering a very limited budget to purchase safety equipment and even being resistant to purchasing masks for employees. Overall this was a terrible experience and I would recommend that you avoid this place. Also they don’t give samples out to their employees and cut employee discounts randomly. They also don’t know how to buy product, so if your looking to sell high quality and be able to please your customers, this is not the place. 

As of 2025, upper and local management has become extremely into micromanagement. This location in particular has gone downhill in culture and atmosphere with an indecisive, anxious, and OCD manager who tends to stick with the people she trained with who are still there. Favoritism is strong with that tendency. The manager also has poor personnel relations skills. There is a lot of hypocrisy that takes place in what people say and do at this location. Most customers are okay but tips tend to suck compared to what they could be in larger city locations. There are several trumpers that come in and that can be off-putting when you have to maintain composure when they spew their ill-informed opinions.

I worked with mr nice guy for 2.5 years and the best part was management and getting time off for random things and events like camping trips and appointments. I seriously couldn’t ask for nicer people to work with! Very laid back environment! HR was friendly and it was generally a nice place to work. Pay wasn’t great as I was a manager and made only $15/hr plus tips. Benefits weren’t great they cost a lot of $ and couldn’t afford the nicer options with how much we got paid. Manager sometimes bought us lunch which was great. Biggest con is  upper management would not always communicate with the stores as often as they needed to in order to understand specific needs for accommodating products or displays.

I worked with amazing people and it gave me lots of knowledge but the upper management is completely incompetent, and refuses to properly take care of its employees and keep in contact with the warehouse managers.  As of 6/27/25 we were completely laid off. dropped. with less than 24 hours notice , the entire warehouse was let go Not even the warehouse manager knew about it till the meeting. Absolutely horrible upper management and absolutely zero communication.  working for my coworkers and everyone in the warehouse was an honor and i would fully endorse everyone in that building. But do not work for this company. They do not care about you. They only care about the money you make for them. As soon as you make it hard for them they will drop you.

I worked for this company for over a year. I was hired and worked to bone with little paid. The management does not set you up properly to succeed. They will make you work alone and expect you to perform to your best. I never called off for no reason and I did everything to the best of my ability as I was trained and I was trained poorly . They will not pay you for holiday paid, it is the same rate as you regular pay rate. The company care more about money then the actually employees. Their are no breaks. Also when they let my manager go, they gave everyone rises, that threatened to leave when they fired him. I was not included, because they will work for the lowest pay possible if they can. Never work for this and if you can never do business with this company. They don’t value any but a dollar. 

The work is fun and relatively easy when 'corporate' isn't breathing down your neck. You have a lot of ability to make your own script and be creative, or it seems this way. You're even encouraged to until the company tries it's next seemingly hair brained initiative. The best part about the job is the enviroment, but the worst has to be the lack of structure and poor leadership at the top end. That and the pay. This company acts like it's hemorrhaging money at all points and makes one wonder if there isn't embezzlement going on somewhere at the top. Huge cost saving measures are taken at every turn, even ones that don't really make any sense. Very disheartening.

This is a great job to get you into the industry, since the turnover rate is so high they are always in need of part-time budtenders. Tips average $15 a shift.

But don't expect to work more than part-time unless you get a promotion to at least a lead, but even at that, it's not worth the extra duties because they barely give you a pay increase. Growth in this company feels impossible.

They will randomly cut hours to save money company-wide. They do not see you as a person with needs, life, and a family. They see you as a minimum-wage worker that is definitely replaceable. They do not provide a livable wage. 

This company does little training on product and cannabis knowledge, you will need to do that entirely on your own.

Although retail can have it's down-sides, I've been very well treated from the start as a budtender, and even had been given the proper support and opportunities to grow into a much larger role. 

The work culture is much more casual than normal retail, and often gives you liberties you wouldn't be able to expect elsewhere. 

I worked my way from part time bud tender to a manager. As I saw the changes that happened over the years, I knew that things would always be changing in the growing cannabis industry, but the changes that happened within the company hindered us workers. I hope that the newest changes can make this company change for the better. The stores run amazing because of the people that work in them! Upper management didn't support the people they needed to. They needed to see the amazing people they have and had and lost so many because they didn't give the support they needed to give. I wish them the best. 

Run away! 
The corporate structure is extremely impossible to work for. Higher ups are out of touch with their employees and the industry. None of corporate structure consumes cannabis or understands how Quality works.
They also have fake accounts spamming 5star reviews across all locations. Shady. 
Zero work/life balance! They require you to download an app and receive work texts all day and night. And make managers work at least one morning, afternoon and evening shift every week as well as having to work at least one week day.
