Hello. The organization has fully staffed its management team and is looking forward to implementing its mission and vision at Vangst. Turnover, unfortunately, happens and ideas shift in a startup environment, but our commitment to building a strong cannabis workforce remains the same.

Pros

The cannabis industry itself had exciting opportunities.

Cons

Management made every task feel like an uphill battle, turning simple assignments into arduous, unpleasant ordeals. The leadership's obstinate approach to changes and feedback created a toxic environment where good ideas went to die. It seemed like a chore to get anything approved without endless rounds of pointless revisions. The lack of clear direction and poor communication from the top left everyone scrambling to interpret mixed signals, causing unnecessary delays and frustration.
