Honestly, this was one of the worst work environments I’ve been in. The job itself wasn’t even the main issue;  it was the people and the way the place was run.

Management was disorganized, expectations were often unclear, and then somehow you were still expected to just “know” what to do without proper communication. A lot of things were left vague, and instead of actually helping or leading, management often came off condescending and talked to employees like they were children instead of adults.

The overall culture there was terrible. A lot of the staff was rude, cliquey, immature, and just straight up unprofessional. There were maybe one or two people who were genuinely kind, but most of the environment felt hostile, dismissive, and uncomfortable to be around. It also felt like if certain people didn’t like you, that attitude spread fast and suddenly you were being treated differently for no real reason.

There was also a lot of hypocrisy in how rules were enforced. Some employees, especially people in leadership roles, seemed to be able to do whatever they wanted while regular staff were held to completely different standards. That kind of favoritism made the place even more frustrating to work in.

I also had concerns about how seriously safety and professionalism were actually taken. There were things I personally observed that made me question how much accountability there really was behind the scenes.

Overall, I would not recommend working here unless you’re okay with poor communication, favoritism, and a workplace culture that can get toxic fast.

I just Quit working there for Many Reasons 
1. Over Worked!!
2. Under Paid & Not Appreciated!!
3. Working Environment is TOXIC!!!!!!
4. Working Conditions are Horrible, Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!
5. NO Communication Between the Owners and Management!!!
6. All The Owners CARE About is Keeping Their High Numbers Up... At ANY Cost, Just Not to Them!!!
7. No Compassion, Compensation or Concern for The ones making Them their MILLIONS!!!!!!!
8. They think that supplying Free Bottom line meals 3 days a week and giving us free samples, which are basically just all the Rejected products Are such a Great Reward for Working us to death... Causing Anger & Anxiety!!!
I could go On for a While, but it's Seriously not Worth it... And NO.... This isn't just a rant from a disgruntled or fired employee... Remember 👉 I QUIT... This place and it's Shallow, Selfish Vain Owners Disgust Me!!!! I would Never Recommend working here... Ever!!! 

Management is chosen based off who knows who, not on who actually has any true leadership qualities. It's a hierarchy with no real structure. The leadership in that place was the worst I have ever experienced. NO communication. They really need to hire people with leadership skills first instead of just choosing people they like. My supervisor often ignored me when I had a question or concern. It was obvious all the supervisors are just milking the clock. It didn't feel like anyone really cared about the plants. I was told there is always optional overtime, when in reality it is not optional at all, but mandatory. Makes it hard for someone with a family. Turnover is crazy high because of this. Not worth the expensive benefits and occasional samples. I am never buying Phat Panda products because I do not support this company and advise everyone to do the same.

This place was a major disappointment for me. I was really excited to work here, only to discover they are in the process of trying to operate the exact same way as Amazon. All I did is pick leaves nonstop every day in a hot, humid, overcrowded room. No training, no growth. Even bathroom trips are a hassle because you have to physically climb over people to go anywhere. Breaks are timed down to the second and you will be reprimanded for taking 30 seconds too long. You're also forced to stay on site during breaks, you're literally not allowed to go outside during your 15 minute breaks. 

At first the culture is good. Then you find out why they are always hiring. But hey there’s a lot of free samples on products they couldn’t sell. After 4 years you will get 4 days of PTO and by then you should be making $21 if you don’t take any days off. Benefits are a joke, pray you don’t get sick. They follow Washington grow ops. Which is nice but remember they have teams up there, if you’re lucky you have another person with you. You will get like 3 main holidays off but not paid or you have to come in for two hours. 

Too much to type. Ill just say I left on my own simply because the place was poorly ran and didnt care about staff. Post claiming its a solid place to work are lies, its probably folks that are cool with the bare minimum and think their cool with someone in upper management. Hardwork didnt bother me, its the fact you get 0 in return. 

Worst company to work for. Management sucks! You will great treated like garbage all the time and walked all over. Huge turn over rate and management is why. They don’t care about their employees. Their prices might be the best around but that’s what happens when you have horrible management and people walking out all the time. Don’t wast your time. They don’t care about their employees.  You call HR and you’ll loose your job while the management still has theirs. 

Worst cannabis company to work for, unfair wages, unfair treatment, favoritism, they’ve paid late multiple times, rude ceo, there disciplinary actions vary on who you are and how important you are. So if you are higher up even if you’re making mistakes you will get away with it more then just a regular employee. 10/10 do not recommend! Hostile work environment, drama, etc. 

This company will stomp on every employee to make more money and look good for social media. The plants are NOT first priority, money is. I was a brand new grower and was running rooms by myself, asked for help and received none. I had ZERO idea what I was doing (and they knew it) and basically had to train myself. I was never trained in pesticides and there I was, not knowing what I was doing... not knowing if I was spraying the correct part of the plant or what the spray was even for. I give this establishment 2/10, my mental health plummeted after working in this toxic work environment. 

You won't find a job where you are treated worse and respected less than you will working for Phat Panda.
Management treats you like cattle the moment you accept payment from them. If you want to feel owned by your job that's designed to pay you as little as possible  while getting the most work out of you APPLY HERE. It's the Panda way. It's all worth it when the food trucks show up. Work like and dog get paid like trash but hey at least we get some sno cones 4 lunch right guys? Guys?
