Pros

It's a paying job.... everything else is absurd.

Cons

No Union, no set schedules, no tips, corporate is MIA. I don't know what they do for work, because they don't market, keep up inventory or purchasing, or communicate at all. They leave the stores to burn out while not providing ANY support. This is a quote directly from corporate; " Absolutely Not. We will not be putting anything into the stores until we see them as profitable." But they expect to see a profit without support.. They are focused more on wasting money expanding, rather then getting things right with current locations. Maybe that is why the company is in debt. Corporate house cleaning.... how is that working out? Maybe listen to the employees or get outta the industry. 3rd round of Corporate people have no clue at what they are doing....obviously look at the name. Perfect-Union (PU😆.) Look at all these reviews, consistent issues are brought up and out the window just as fast. But Corporate wants to save money by taking away ALL of the job perks at the drop of a dime. They took tip jars away and made them donation boxes. They are taking budtender tips away and taking customer "donations," and then writing them off as a Perfect-Union donation. They say we can't accept tips because we are Union. Which for most locations, is a bold-faced lie. Corporate needs to get with it or bow out...cause nothing has changed since this new lineup of a corporate team took over. From the top to district managers. Get off your high-horses...I don't care about your professional past...it doesn't mean ANYTHING here except getting you your position...all successful corporations compete with local economies, so an excuse about not paying attention to other dispensaries, small or corporate....WILL be PU's ultimate failure. Listen to what we are saying....cause I'm watching this ship barely staying above water.... taking employee perks away and making us earn promotion schwag and products that are meant to be given to us and customers, is not going to save your bottom dollar. Other corporate companies like Vibes, Cookies, Stiiizy, etc..are doing things in a way that makes PU smell like it's name. In summary....I love this industry and want this company to do right...but yeah...still waiting on broken promises and NO communication. Don't work or shop here unless you wanna get ripped off until things change. To say Perfect-Union is a joke and the laughing stock in each community would be an understatement.

There are so many ways to contribute to Perfect Union's growth. We can see you have a lot of valuable ideas to share. Store feedback is asked for on a daily basis. We promote from within. We value community. We support our employees' right to join unions. We have a plan in place to fairly accept tips in the very near future. Together, we are building an impressive footprint in California. We're proud of our collective accomplishments and how we continue to grow. We hope you will choose to grow with us.
