Pros
Working in the medicinal cannabis industry is exciting
Cons
Lack of Integrity: Management dismisses concerns about the company’s failure to meet basic legal obligations, such as paying employee superannuation, and labels those who speak up as “disruptive.”
Exploitation of Workers: The company seems to intentionally hire vulnerable migrant workers, not to foster diversity, but to exploit those who may feel less empowered to challenge poor treatment.
Misplaced Priorities: There is never enough budget for initiatives that would improve the experience for patients or staff, yet management consistently finds funds for business class travel and the CEO’s indulgent lifestyle.
Toxic Work Environment: Raising valid issues leads to being labeled a troublemaker, while employees are expected to conform to a distorted reality where concerns are brushed aside.
Detrimental to Mental Health: The stress and anxiety caused by constantly suppressing honesty and integrity create a toxic atmosphere that negatively impacts both the individual and their colleagues.
No Genuine Mission: The company positions itself as part of the medicinal cannabis industry but lacks any real commitment to helping patients. The focus is purely on profit and inflating the CEO’s ego.
Retaliation for Honesty: Any attempt at transparency or vulnerability is often later used against employees, creating a culture of fear and mistrust.
Overall Disillusionment: Years of dedication can end up feeling like a mistake due to the lack of meaningful recognition or progress.
