Pros: I liked the hybrid work setup. You could WFH a couple of days a week, which was nice for avoiding the Los Angeles traffic. This flexibility helped a lot for personal appointments. For many roles, like mine in marketing, it's a solid benefit.
Cons: Full remote work isn't really an option here. There's an expectation to be onsite for most of the week, even if your tasks don't always require it. In the cannabis industry, it often feels like they want you physically present, which can be tough when you want more autonomy over your schedule.
Advice to Management: Consider offering more fully remote options for roles that can support it. It would really help with employee morale and reduce commute stress for those in the Los Angeles area. Trust your teams more with their own schedules.

Cons: While job security isn't awful, there's not much room for promotion. It's hard to move up when you're ready for new challenges. The growth path for creative marketing roles is unclear; they don't seem to invest much in skill development.
Advice to Management: Focus on creating clear advancement paths for employees, especially for those in creative marketing roles. Invest more in professional development and mentorship programs.
