Pros

You gain 1 day annual leave for each year of service (most companies now do this so not such a pro)

Cons

Where to start... Bullying attitude of management, some managers have only got promotion due to their face fitting and not actually what they have to offer. One of the biggest issues that has started is “passing the buck to a different team” higher management like to blame different departments for bad figures not actually taking responsibility for their own bad management and performance of their team. Staff do not want to work for management as it is very clear that they have their “favourites”. Restructure is a way they like to change things, however it doesn’t work. Last restructure removed a whole department and passed to a central team, who do not have the training, skills or opportunity to actually do the work, so it’s just left and not worried about. Then when a director mentions it, the staff are pulled from their usual job and told they need to focus on this project, however no training provided so they don’t know what to do and then it’s the staffs fault when it goes wrong.

Pros

It’s a dispensary but they at least have a semi work life balance and pay a little more than other dispensaries. It’s. It a terrible place to work as far as dispensaries go.

Cons

No true full time and also sometimes we were rushed with custimers and made mistakes bc of the rush
