Pros

-The work environment is easy going and safe. -Employees get along very well and work together to get things done. -This is the perfect job for people who love working with cannabis and wants to learn about the industry

Cons

-The pay rate can use some improvements because employees get paid more at McDonald. Starting rate for Cultivation technician is less then what a packaging associate make at the same company -The company has to work on its benefit packages it provide to it employee. -The company has a very bad retention rate as employees are quitting every week. -When I first started the company made it very clear that fluent does not do any pay raises or promotions. -There's a lot the company can do to improve the benefits in a industry that make over 1 billion dollars a year.

Pros

Foot in the door in the cannabis industry. You will meet cool people passionate about the products. Discounts on products.

Cons

Nepotism is the foundation of the company. If you're not family or very close friends with the right people, you will be stuck with no room for growth. This will also spill over into how employees who are family/friends can get away with treating you without repercussion.

Don’t Do It!

Pros

You get to work with marijuana and learn about the product.

Cons

First- the pay rate is beyond disrespectful and lacks any kind of incentive to do good. They hire based on a set rate and right before you sign it will drop down and if you’re not ok with it, there goes the job and so you’re forced to accept it with no choice. The give goals to meet for bonuses but will then change the structure or change the requirements once you reach them. Second- the managers at the store and management within the company lack any kind of business savy or intellect. The manager, at the store I worked at, couldn’t even spell Tuesday correctly and didn’t even finish high school. They promote based on personal internal relationships versus actual talent or stellar performance. Nepotism is rampant within Fluent even though they claim they are against the idea. Third- the product your pushed to sell is less desirable and of far less quality versus other dispensaries, yet they expect the same pricing. I would frequently hear staff pushing product to patients that weren’t necessarily the best fit for the client but were aligned with the employees sales goals and average ticket price. I would never ever recommend Fluent for employment to a friend or even a random person I don’t know. Furthermore- I would also never recommend someone to stop by for product or service as well.
