Life at a Cannabis Giant - Product Manager Curaleaf Employee Review

Pros: A typical day is a healthy mix of cross-functional meetings and focused independent work time. I feel there’s a strong balance most days between collaboration and execution, which makes the work both productive and engaging. I started my career in cannabis with Curaleaf, and it has grown far more than just top-tier cannabis—it has grown me. Over the years, I’ve gained deep knowledge across operations, sales, marketing, commercialization, and purchasing throughout the eastern network. There is no shortage of learning opportunities here if you are curious, motivated, and committed to the culture. Management has been one of the strongest parts of my experience. I’ve been fortunate to work with supportive, kind, and highly knowledgeable leaders who have consistently pushed me to grow beyond what I thought was possible in this field. The workplace culture, like any large and fast-growing company, can be stressful during periods of change—but even during those times, I’ve felt genuinely supported and not left to navigate challenges alone.

Cons: The hardest part of the job is the constant shifts and pivots that come with rapid growth. That said, this environment has also taught me how to adapt quickly and thrive in a fast-moving industry. Overall: The most enjoyable part of the job is everything—the people, the plant, the culture, and the growth. I truly love it all. I began my journey at Curaleaf as an administrative assistant at an operations site and, over five years, have been promoted four times into my current role in product management. During that same time, I also grew my family and welcomed two babies. Curaleaf has supported me as a woman and a mother in ways I am deeply grateful for—encouraging maternity leave, prioritizing health, and reminding me to take care of myself when needed. I feel incredibly blessed to work for a company that supports both professional and personal growth so fully.
