Pros

Learned how to cultivate mushrooms and about small scale CPG industry

Cons

Many higher ups are very disconnected. Over complicated grow process and lack of big picture plan. Unfair pay for those working long hours in unfavorable conditions. Managers were constantly "moving the goal post". Keep calling themselves a 'startup' company to excuse general disarray.

Pros

Fun, interesting, mostly down to earth people to work with. Mushroom heads are a special breed.

Cons

If you work in cultivation, you do twice the amount of work as production for the same amount of pay. ( i worked for both cultivation and production) End of day everyday, cultivation employees leave work exhausted, sweating, totally spent, over worked after 8 hours of hard labor. Production employees leave happy, energetic, chillin, and ready to go out after work. Production staff would complain when they had to help cultivation on large harvest days. The issue of unequal work load had been brought up many times by multiple staff while I worked there, and nothing was ever done to fix it. Proper footwear is not enforced. Slip and falls are common, especially with the rubber boots that are provided.
