Plantlife Cannabis Careers and Employment

4 shifts i worked, 4 shifts i was told I was killing it, doin a great job, fit in, it was all good. Never made it to a 5th shift because "I didn't fit". But yet their managers AND assistant managers are smoking AT work *IN* the bathrooms and still allowed to keep their jobs. Plantlife Cannabis is a corporation like any other, they don't care about anyone but profit. Don't work there. They'll lie right to your face.

Stressful environment for everyone on the chain of command

A lot of store managers with this company seem to be trained to make their employees fearful of repercussions rather than fostering an environment of growth. Be prepared to be extremely micromanaged in everything you do and written up for the smallest of circumstances. There is also no transparency for what actions constitute a write-up and employees are NOT treated equal in this regard.Company also puts sales above all else, and not in a healthy way that benefits the company/staff. Employees are made compete against eachother in a way that creates way more tension and stress than necessary in entry level positions.Overall bad experience and the poor work environment hits the budtenders and goes all the way up to regional management. Do not recommend working for this company at any level.

Horrible management.

Great company, but horrible management at most locations. Lots of employees that get hired either get fired or quit within a month of working here !!! Wouldn’t recommend wasting your time applying here lol

If you want to be forced to compete with your coworkers and love capitalism this is the job for you!

The corporate and competitive nature of this job is exhausting. Maybe some people thrive in that environment, but I personally entered the cannabis industry looking for a different type of retail. A LOT of cannabis retailers are life changing to work for and I’ve had some awesome jobs in cannabis! That is not what I found here at Plantlife. They pit us against each other and only care about who has the highest sales and who makes the most money. It’s allll about numbers here, and if you can’t keep up they cut you loose. If you’ve ever worked for a large corporate company like Walmart, that’s EXACTLY what the culture at place is like, just with weed instead of sweatshop clothes and reasonably priced groceries. If you enjoy competition, and cliques, and managers who exploit you, you’ll LOVE it here!
