Sometimes recognition for top performers 
Educational’s from vendors

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of concern for work place drama being solved.  
The favoritism and two faced personalities in the higher positions. 
They claim to be team oriented and pride themselves on it but in all reality will outcast you for speaking up.
Assistant managers worked on “paperwork” for hours and leave associates and supervisors to drown on the sales floor. And somehow nothing was correct or done on time. 
The intimidation tactic instead of coming from a place of consideration is very present. They want to be feared not respected. 



What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This place is incredibly toxic. The regular associates and most supervisors are great, but upper management is the real issue. They’re two-faced , putting on a professional act when HR or ownership is around, then turning around and gossiping about their own employees behind closed doors.
There’s no real support from leadership. They’ll watch you struggle, ignore your requests for help, and then blame you when things aren’t perfect. They talk a lot about being a “team,” but their actions don’t back that up. You’re on your own unless you’re one of their favorites.
Favoritism is obvious and constant. Certain people get away with anything, while others are held to impossible standards. It creates a toxic, uneven work environment where hard work doesn’t matter as much as who you’re close with.
If you’re okay walking on eggshells and sacrificing your mental health just to keep a job, then maybe this place is for you. Otherwise, think twice.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Attending to customers and helping them get what they’d like based on their needs.

You can earn a decent living pay wise. Most of the staff that work in the actual dispensaries/warehouse are nice, knowledgeable, and good hearted people. The corporate management and operations employees on the other hand... not so much. 

They'll be super fake to you and act like they know how to do their job but they really don't know what they're doing. There's a lot of backstabbing and weird petty dramas. It's like working in a high school environment. Everyone is super insecure and their insecurity shows in their behaviors. The atmosphere is super negative. 

There's blatant nepotism, just like pretty much every other industry but this company has the worst case I've seen of it. The "controller" in corporate is extremely two faced and snake like. Condescending with narcissitic/psychopathic attributes. 

Again, the pay was nice, I liked a few of the people I worked with a lot, and they were understanding if you needed to take a day off here and there for personal/health reasons. Just not worth it in the long run for me. Definitely the worst company in any industry I've worked for by far. 



The employees and managers themselves are great, however the owners tend to micro manage EVERYTHING, from completely changing schedules ignoring employees everyday lives; with no knowledge of employees at home life changing a schedule can be devastating especially when individuals have childcare needs that have to be addressed etc. Another example of the owners micro management : Say if you're in the store and the owners are in there they will randomly speak to a guest without saying hello or greeting them they would say buy 10 for 100 or offer them a product they don't use making the customer feel extremely uncomfortable when grabbing their medicinal needs. Overall they treat their management and employees like expendable trash all because they know their employees have a true passion for the cannabis industry and they've found a way to exploit that passion into getting cheap labor in an industry where the money is plentiful and abundant the owners are the true personification of capitalism and greed it is truly disgusting knowing that when they are in an industry built to help people. 



In my short time with the company, I had issues with my direct deposit for more than one check, The hours I was promised up on hire, we're not the given hours once hired. My schedule I had requested and was agreed upon when interviewing, was not the schedule given when I started. I was with the company for almost 4 months but due to consistent schedule conflicts, work hours being shortened, and samples and tips were not given fairly. I would spend 95% of my work day on register while others would take advantage of being on reception or simply not being on register, yet those employees would be the ones receiving more in tips and samples. Overall, not a fun or productive place to work if you're looking to move up in the industry! 

Ever wanted to work long hours for people standing around on their phones? How about with very little guidance but lots of backlash if you make a mistake? Then Nirvana may be perfect for you. If you like having to provide a doctor's note for a one-day absence, then look no further! Everyone is miserable and you're sure to be the next miserable employee, no matter how positive you start out! That's all thanks to Nirvana's HR policies that supervisors have to follow despite it not making sense. With Nirvana, you'll never know what your paycheck will look like or if they'll decide you don't qualify for something because you're new. Chaos and supervisors who really don't care about you create the perfect place to have a breakdown while propane leaks nearby. Not to worry though, everyone is sick together because no one can call in without a note and no one can afford to go to the doctor. 

When initially applying to this company, I was interested in Assistant Manager in a new store (after a year stint with another cannabis company that was horribly run).  I was immediately bumped up to consideration for General Manager, as my past experience had really given me a great overall picture of the industry and what is needed to succeed. Within a year I was able to secure a promotion to Regional Ops Manager and have never looked back.  My family has been taken care of, and invested in  by our hourly staff and all the way up the chain.  Don't get me wrong -  communication can be a struggle, just like in every other fast paced industry that exists... but sometimes drastic and quick changes are needed and there's not much that can be done aside from "ripping the bandaid" so to say.  Overall, Nirvana is my future and I am incredibly grateful for their investment in my career.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Trimming is easy and fun! We always paid attention to the flower and the bucking process. Very organized and efficient.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management - lack of leadership and there was issues with HR as well. At the end, they were giving away "rewards" and "gifts" all staged towards nepotism not character or job excellence. 
Painted on shorts got people further than timeliness, accountability or performance. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Foulest, strip club music is what was played daily and at very loud intervals. Requested a change in music and was given ear buds. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
6 am clock in, trim bud, 2 breaks and a 30.min lunch

What is the best part of working at the company?
Poor Management/ Corporate structure. Toxic workplace. Little to no care about HR policies, or providing a safe workplace. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Terrible structure, no direction, terrible products/ product quality standards. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic with little oversight. Good luck reporting anything, management and HR ignore even some of the most severe of complaints. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You're given 1 or 2 directions, some of which are redundant given you've already performed the duties prior to management bringing up said responsibility. Every once in a while they do give you genuine direction, but it's a rarity.

This company is as cheap as they com when it comes to paying employees or even caring about them. The employees can’t even park on the property & they make them park literally a block & a half away to walk in the heat/sun. Everyone is easily expendable there from the budtenders to managers & anyone can get fired at any time for the smallest thing even if it was a good employee with no prior issues so there’s no job security. Even if you are there for awhile & it seems to be going well, they’ll eventually fire you & slew of others just to save the company a few bucks because they’re going to hire new people at a lower rate. Why? To keep the owners rich meanwhile most of the workers there can’t even afford rent & groceries. HORRIBLE place to work at. STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE! You WILL regret it!

I worked here consistently for what was coming up on my one year. After all my work, and constantly changing me where they needed me because they constantly fired people, they finally put me in inventory where I was thriving. After training some different people coming in and being told I would be put to inventory supervisor, as everyone else expected, the told me they were instead promoting one of the people I had been training. Do not work here they have absolutely no care for your seniority in the company nor your blatant effort, Just a little paper that says hey you made us a 1/4 dollars so here’s $200. Absolutely garbage company. Absolutely left a foul taste in my mouth for working in the industry.
