Pure Options

The owner is highly manipulative, has no business sense, and is transphobic and homophobic. There is no communication at this shop, which you will notice right away, with large business changes being done at the last minute.  You will often be told one thing and have it change/never happen. After awhile you will start to see how unethical and manipulative the owner is. I asked if benefits were included during my interview and was told they would be in two months at the latest... I worked there for over a year and never received benefits but was always told they were coming soon. They use employees and try to trap them in their jobs here, so be warned. The higher you move up in the company, the worse it gets. I can’t think of a positive thing to say about my experience here except maybe the very small and selective employee discount.

They over work their employees and tend to fire people a lot of the time instead of people quitting, very tight friend group in upper management, if you don’t fit it to their standards you’re life won’t be as easy as the rest who do fit in. Use to be a great job but management is either fired, let go, and then hired once more after! so I can imagine how much they do care for the company if they put the upper management through all that. Rules are constantly changing no one has an idea of what’s going on; Communication is beyond terrible at pure option you’ll hear one thing and then the opposite the same day and no one will give direct answer or can find them out. They don’t offer maternity or paternity. No opportunity to move up unless you’re in the friend group. And good luck getting a raise. 

I loved the work I was doing. I also enjoyed working with the people I had direct co tact with. This company puts expectations on their poorly paid hourly employees that deserve a raise, as well as more respect. These people would do anything for the company.  But the employees do no get what they deserve,  or even promised from the company. They keep getting fed b.s. to keep them happy on the job. The employees then realize, after time and to much hard work, how hard they are working for what little they get.  Then the company fires them for being unhappy and not working as hard, getting sick more often because of stress, or just because the conpany chooses so, and replaces them with new. Unfortunately employees are expendable to them. They do not see the worth of a person, especially the good ones.  

My time at Pure Options wasn’t great. The Leadership was very poor and they often pinned employees against each other, creating for an extremely negative culture. A lot of drama. They will work you to the bone until you crack, and then point the finger at you for your “weakness”, and manage you out. Leadership does not invest in employees and is very quick to let people go if they don’t obey. The turnover is insane because employees are treated as just a number. I liked a lot of the people who worked there, so it’s a shame that the company doesn’t have better leadership and organization. 

There are no merit raises and/or career path. There are no reviews. They decide who gets promoted, when and how. 

I was hired with quite a few other people. We were hired in as full time employees. Later on, they decided we were actually part time and that somehow 15 people all "heard the wrong thing". I'm not joking. The starting pay is low for this industry and I was never given a raise. They hired in higher paid managers from the outside who'd then turn around and tell you there's no money for a raise for you. They continued to raise expectations for employees, without providing any additional compensation. The final straw for me and many others was when they made it clear to all of us that there would be no additional compensation for working during the pandemic. I am much happier not working here, and I implore you to find a different company to work for. 

Very very little hours to give.
Poor management.
Management plays favorites and gives hours to the people they like more.
Will approve pto and then deny it later and say you have to work or your fired.
Will take advantage of your job and make you do management work any chance they can.
Expects you to live with the little hours they give and tell you they will not work around a second job.
Certain members of management will try to make you split your earned tips with them even though they make much more than associates. 
Toxic work environment.

You know when you first start dating someone and they seem so amazing and you could easily see yourself building a life with them.  They tell you all the right things and promise you the moon but then the sparkle stage ends abruptly and you realize the person you went to bed with is not the person you thought they were  and although you try to convince yourself otherwise that things will get better….they actually get worse.  I’m hoping to leave with what dignity I have left.  I love my job and that is the hardest part of leaving but I know I deserve better.  We all know how the story will end and trying to convince yourself otherwise will only bring more heartache.  Someone will treat you the way you deserve to be treated but most likely it will not be this place.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Non payday Fridays you get either a free sample or a free meal

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Minimal drama but I’m in security so there’s always that what if this happens… just have to be ready for anything at all times

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is diverse and the work environment is pretty laid back and everyone is down to earth even though most of the retail members are much younger than myself 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stay on top of your tasks and it’s almost always an easy day at work

Everything bad you’ve heard is true. 

Management is terrible, the owner shows favoritism and poor business sense. Financially the company is a mess. 

Culture is do anything to please management, including mandatory overtime on holidays.  HR will do anything that management wants, including firing people managers don’t like. Entire retail stores are fired with 7 days notice. 

No opportunity for advancement, cultivation management positions are given to middle aged men with no cannabis experience. 

Health benefits are expensive and limited. 

As a long time former worker for this company, I have watched my colleagues each deal with a struggle of their own with little to no help from administration. The overall communication between departments is non-existent. Payroll is more or less incompetent. I experienced short paychecks, incorrect W2s, bad advice, and a mirage of other misfortunes. Loyalty is not rewarded no matter how hard you work and/or how long you've worked for Pure Options. If they want to fire you for any reason, they will do so without hesitation. Employment is a revolving door. The list goes on for miles.
