Pros

You will learn to work with very difficult leadership so your patience will grow! Good health insurance.

Cons

So many! First off, they fire people left and right all the time. The place is ran incompetently, the CEO is more focused on growing his own influence than growing the business. He’s trying to prove to the world that the company is world-class, while cutting corners everywhere and not setting in place lasting solutions. Also, the company is 90% ran through ChatGPT, so nothing ever seems genuine because the leadership doesn’t even care to pretend they’re competent enough to come up with solutions on their own. Also, no company should have the amount of cars this company has, especially since most of them aren’t for shows or to create buzz for the company, they’re personal vehicles that happen to be in company budgets… Finally, they changed the company name to Diversified Botanics with about one week of anticipation. Just because the CEO felt like it. You can’t make a good company grow if you’re making big decisions within a small time frame.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. We recognize that not every employee experience will align with our vision, and feedback, both positive and critical, helps us improve. Over the past few years, our company has undergone significant transformation, including a rebrand to Diversified Botanics. These changes were not made lightly; they reflect a long-term strategy to expand our reach, strengthen compliance, and prepare the organization for the next stage of growth. While rapid decisions can feel disruptive, they are driven by the need to keep pace with an evolving industry and ensure that we remain competitive. We also want to address the mention of artificial intelligence. We proudly leverage AI as part of our operations, believing it enables us to be more innovative, more precise, and more efficient. AI tools don’t replace leadership or decision-making, they enhance our ability to analyze data, streamline processes, and focus human talent on the high-value work that grows both the company and our people. We do not comment on individual personnel matters, but we are committed to building an environment where performance is measured fairly, and employees can grow with the company. Our leadership team has invested heavily in professional development, compliance, and employee support resources to ensure we operate at the highest standard possible. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and remain focused on creating a workplace that values excellence, accountability, innovation, and opportunity. For those considering a career with us, we encourage open dialogue and welcome questions in the interview process to ensure alignment.

Pros

Compensation is second to none, MIT45 really prides itself in paying above market value. The benefits are great, they pay for healthcare for the whole family, pay for college, and even for fitness. The culture is definitely improving.

Cons

The CEO is always pushing for unrealistic goals with little care for the people who get it done. Hard work is never recognized. They say they pride themselves on hiring the best people for the job, but if they disagree with the CEO or push back too much, they are let go. People are consistently getting fired for seemingly no reason. I've always been grateful to have a job, not knowing if it's my last day here or not. Even writing this I'm worried about getting fired for writing it.

To strengthen cross-functional collaboration, we’ve updated our onboarding process, new hires now engage with multiple departments to build business-wide understanding from day one. Regarding AI: we fully support its use to enhance decision-making, drive efficiency, and support our people. Innovation is always in service of the team. We understand that in high-performance environments, change can sometimes be perceived as instability. At MIT45, we set ambitious goals and move decisively to maintain alignment and uphold our standards. Personnel decisions reflect long-term strategy and cultural fit, always with the success of the team in mind. We remain committed to a culture where top talent thrives through clarity, purpose, and mutual respect. -Latonya Howell VP of Human Resources
