Disingenuous and Oblivious

Pros

The potential to get back on their feet is inspiring though hard to imagine as sales have declined by over 75% within the last 8 months due to its current landscape of overpaid and disingenuous individuals. This company could takeover the CBD industry with the right focus, dedication, and removal of its current cancerous imbiciles. If ownership could regain its prior hardworking initiative this company could make well over a hundred million dollars a year.

Cons

Enslaved by a toxic CTO and now COO Mismanagement of Funds Depleted Manufacturing Department Top Heavy More Sales Management than an Actual Salesforce. Laughable Process and Analytics Team Dwindled Culture Poorly educated, prejudiced, and intolerant HR Department Uncaring, Callous, and Detached Ownership Inept Purchasing Department Reluctant to follow basic cGMP procedures Intentional low dosing of CBD Refusal to recall potentially fatal products

Pros

Competition and Benefits. Everyone with a desk job is way over paid. (Good for me. Bad for the bottomline.)

Cons

Sales have tanked, morale has crashed, owners are dishonest, upper-management is clueless, multiple class action lawsuits.

Pros

There is NOTHING good about this company. I'm warning you - stay away.

Cons

Leadership is just screwed up, compensation is way below average, and the people are just horrible. Dishonest company with no morals. I have no words to describe how terrible it was working here.
