I was bullied everyday for months and once I reported it to upper management, HR 
I  was let go 2 days before Christmas. They did not properly pay us or make sure our tips were properly handled. I believe I learned to not stay where your work isn’t appreciated. Management was absolutely distasteful, had no decorum, not demure at all. Workplace culture was very depressing and evil. The managers never had good motives from day 1 wanted to see who they could get fired. The hardest part was clocking in everyday knowing I was going to get bullied. The most enjoyable part was meeting new customers and escaping the nasty work environment atmosphere. 

Management will speak to you in the most condescending tone as they smile all day long at you, everyday. You will watch more people quit and get fired. They will start you of at 18 and promise a raise a month later, that will never come, even though it's in your contract. I started at 21. You will be treated like a mule with smiles and laughs all day long from management as your coworkers continue to get fired. You will get fired. I quit. I left during my lunch and never returned. Do yourself a favor, be better. Any dispensary in SF is better than this place. 

Typical day: My first day there they had a company meeting and at the end I overheard an employee say" well at least someone didn't cry this time". That was foreshadowing as to what was to come at Urbana
Learned: that no amount of money can by trust or taste
Management: inconsistent and patronizing. They have gone through 16 managers in a year, I'm sure they will see more.  
Workplace culture: sad. People come in afraid to lose their jobs everyday. They put heat sensor camera on their employees to follow them 



Typical workday: Answer phone calls / emails regarding citizen questions or complaints.  Review and issue zoning permit in accordance to City code.

I learned how to read, understand, and enforce local, state, and federal regulations.  

Management is very competent and understanding.  Easy to talk to and get along with.

Typical office culture.

The hardest part of the job is dealing with disgruntled citizens and having to explain why certain codes and standards are important and being enforced.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Your coworkers and the time you get off 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is the misdirection from the higher ups and the constant change (firing:quitting)general managers and floor managers and there not being any real structure . 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you get along with your coworkers.. it’s great ! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and unappreciated and looked over!

I learned a lot working for this company, however there was a lot of turnover and expectations were set unbelievably high, which most employees could not maintain. It was a high stress environment that lead many people to burnout. 

I worked as a delivery driver and consultant. The cannabis industry is where I want to be and this place was an awesome first job in the industry. It didn’t feel like work to me and the people that work there are always helpful and knowledgeable whenever I had questions. It was a true team atmosphere. 

It's a greenhouse so you're going to be working with plants and you're going to get dirty. Expect that. But you'll learn a lot about agriculture, local systems, and sustainability. The people are friendly. Not too stressful of an environment, as long as you keep your feet moving and stay busy.

I thought it was going to be a great opportunity for my first job! It was at first but I thought wrong and didn’t enjoy the company and how unprofessional the boss was

Great experience withe the management. I learned more about being part of a team. Nothing was hard and I enjoyed watching students graduate. I enrolled students and make sure they had the correct 
classes.
