Pros
Great workplace, easy going, and fully supportive
Cons
Corporate places unreasonable expectations on management and associates, company has taken away some benefits
Pros
I've had great experience with Curaleaf. Our senior management team is involved and engaging, they provide great benefits and depending on the time of year, I've experienced a great work-life balance
Cons
Cannabis industry can attract team members who are not ready for a corporate structure
Pros
The people, my team, the patients, being able to make a difference in someone's life by educating them on the benefits of cannabis and helping them choose the ideal strain for their needs. I made some really great friends that I've kept in contact with. Pay was decent.
Cons
Upper management and corporate don't have a firm grasp of how to operate things efficiently. They issued several rounds of layoffs, outsourcing vital customer service roles to a foreign country to pay lower wages. Because why pay livable wages to American workers? Ultimately, it filled these positions with unqualified, inexperienced personnel that fostered discord among the original team that had been forced out and left jobless.
Pros
This is a fast-growing company with meaningful opportunities for upward mobility, especially for those who consistently perform and are willing to take on more responsibility. Being one of the largest companies in the industry provides a sense of stability, strong benefits, established infrastructure, and long-term viability in a competitive space. The people are truly the best part of working here. Teams work hard, but there is a strong sense of camaraderie. Many colleagues are collaborative, resilient, and genuinely enjoy working together, which makes even high-pressure days more manageable.
Cons
The cannabis industry is intense and fast-moving. There is significant pressure tied to production numbers, compliance, and performance. Not everyone thrives in that environment. Work-life balance requires strong personal boundaries. It is easy to overextend yourself if you are highly driven. Compensation may not always align with the level of responsibility or pressure in certain roles. Advancement into some senior-level roles can feel limited at times, particularly when leadership pipelines are informal or relationship-driven. It can be challenging for external or non-legacy employees to break into higher levels without strong internal sponsorship.
Pros
Decent pay, good benefits, once in a blue moon we got treated to food, got to meet some good co-workers.
Cons
The company has no goals, they have their Russian oligarch founder as CEO since Matt Darin left after getting sued for sexual harassment. After two years of working there, we had 4 different plant operators and a period where we didn't have one at all. We got pushed and rushed to create batch after batch, only for us to not have anything to do for months besides sanitation. The last plant operator that is there cares more about numbers and efficiency in a space that has no consistent work rather than the morale of the employees. Before I left, he was wanting to write up people over missing a punch, which is ridiculous. After a chunk of the team was let go including all of our supervisors, he did nothing to help the team move past it. Just made us do random tasks outside of our pay, outside of our job description, some stuff that was HIS responsibility as well, just because now there was no one to tell him no. He bought food for the 4 leads one time and tried to have us hide it from the rest of the team instead of buying food for the whole team (11 people including himself). The building we were in was falling apart but some of it just wasn't his concern. We had plenty of safety concerns that was met with a condescending tone, even when it was asked. He has no care for sanitation (neither does Corporate), even passing contaminated product. None of the supervisors liked him, most of the team didn't like him. He isn't a bad person but he is a terrible boss. When it came to me being promoted, I was promoted right after we had our third P.O. leave. I became a lead in packaging, mainly over the printers. I had to watch a team of 20 people (mostly temps) spontaneously, as well as create a system to stagnate breaks which was suddenly enforced, had to keep the same pay because I was "within my 90 days" despite being rehired from a layoff. My supervisor was out due to a severe illness so I had to collaborate with the other two supervisors when they were available to help. It was pure, disorganized chaos. For an international company, this entire past year alone was horribly embarrassing. I had commitment and passion for what I did, and this place did not share that, nor did they care. The money is all they care about. From Corporate Leadership down to the individual plants, AVOID working for Curaleaf. They are the Walmart of the Marijuana industry.
