This is hands down the worst company I have ever worked for. When I started with the company I was very excited. Mainly I was excited about finally working for a company I could fully get behind and support morally ethically, and socially. As time went on, I learned this would be the least thing from true. The two female managers that everyone in the entire office loved and did their jobs wonderfully held my interview and hired me after the store manager had also. However my first day, literally 4 weeks later because nobody was doing their jobs with proper sense of urgency, came but the two managers were no longer there. The store manager did nothing to hide the fact that what had occurred was corporate came and fired both girls because their had been a robbery a few weeks earlier, and because the girls accidentally (KEY WORD) left a single box out of the hundreds of boxes of products in a storage drawer on the sales floor. And I was told corporates excuse for the firing was “Well we watched the cameras and you guys were dancing to the music on the radio while you were putting things away (that they asked us to play the whole day may I add) so that’s why the robbery is your fault. To move things along, things only developed worse from there, the new managers hired after the girls were horrible to work with as they lacked any organizational skills or any sense of urgency. It became everyday like a crap show as me or another actual hardworking associate would have to pick up the slack of all the other employees. They also have no morally correct rules which is odd for a pot dispensary. I produced around 60,000 dollars a month for the Curaleaf, but was never allowed to take a single tip from a customer even when the customer would argue with us about taking it. Absolute absurdity, especially when almost every customer wants to tip you. I could have easily made an extra 100 a day by simply being allowed a normal ethical practice. No matter what struggles this job ensued though, I kept working hard anyway. That’s when the store manager asked if I would make some display cases for them. So I did. They loved the cases so much that they asked me to draft a planogram for them to send to the rest of the company of how to set them up. This was a HUGE red flag for me as I should never be making a planogram. That is something that a marketing director in corporate gets paid 150,000 + yearly to distribute for them. And here I am, the lowest paid employee of the Curaleaf doing something better than their corporate with a beggars pay. And I did it with a smile and gave them 100% effort. The district manager did reward me with a piece of paper that said congrats you did something for us and youre excellent, but if I’m doing better work than your corporate, eff the sheet, show me my new desk please. Anyway, after this occurred, it was only a couple days later that I learn the devil f***ing incarnate just took over the corporate leadership. It was a lady I had worked for previously at a company I quit of my own volition after being yelled at everyday for months because the hair supply store I was running in the ghetto wasn’t hitting sales goals due to the COVID pandemic, and the lady I worked for was a nut job who thought it was because I wasn’t trying. This is a problem I find commonly in corporates, is this cycle of burning out your employees even when they are just doing the right thing. It’s a total power trip for people like her, which is exactly why I was let go two weeks later, with no reason or excuse other than what the manager and dm told me, “the higher up is preventing us from keeping you.” I was literally let go from a company where I was a top performer, customer favorite, always did my job properly and well above and beyond even what the corporate was apparently doing. All because the higher up didn’t like that I existed at a company. I am also adding this here just in case YOURE reading this, I am a good person, I am gay, I was an abused child, I have been heavily mistreated and discriminated against my whole life and now have to fully support myself at a very young age (I am pre graduation age). I hope you can sleep well at night knowing it is your fault, because I definitely didn’t deserve that kind of treatment. And to any people thinking of applying, here’s your warning. I wish I would’ve heeded mine.
