Vantaggi
Other budtenders make the job bearable, as well as many of the amazing customers. Also, you get a discount.
Svantaggi
Company policies are restrictive and dehumanizing. It does not feel like a welcoming environment, management is grossly incompetent when it comes to people management, and the management beneath is even more so. Adequate training is not provided, you are left to your own devices and no feedback is given, other than negative, and it's usually delivered via text message or passive aggressively through signing forms "reminding" you of their policies, which again are restrictive and counter productive to a fully inclusive and welcoming environment. It starts from the top down, one of the worst retailers I have personally worked for in terms of how they treat their staff. The head of the company won't even acknowledge you as existing if he ever walks into your store, which is a huge indicator of how he views all of his employees. It's very much sink or swim, every person for themselves, which creates an unwelcome environment. Break schedules are rarely followed according to Provincial and Federal employment laws, the lack of hours for staff make it difficult to manage large groups of customers the way One Plant expects customers to be managed. The digital media tablets are practically useless to customers, and proper training for staff on how to engage customers using the tablets was never provided. Telling staff they need to use them with customers is not training.
