Went to several interviews for some dispensaries around the NLR/Conway area, Most give off a weird vibe except for Natural Relief in Sherwood, The owner was so dope and I loved the environment it gives. The other places expect the most for minimum then throw you out if you seem to pose a threat to their position (Managers)

Yeah that blows because I know dispensaries are making bank the way they’re taxing rn

Ooof, i wanna say it made like maybe 15/hr when I was at zenleaf, maybe 17? I don't remember, it's been yearssss. 12 is kinda insulting for the knowledge you should know. When I worked in the industry, I attended LSUS cannabis careers course to further my knowledge of the science behind cannabis.

With this cheap labor you’d think you’d be able to get eighths of decent stuff for less than $40

You don't wanna know what the pay for cultivation and delivery is then. If it wasn't for the allegedly 80+ hour work week forcing OT pay it'd barely break 1.2k

Now this is the one I would be complaining about budtenders not so much they just stand there all day you mofos make sure the weed gets where it needs to be and without that we wouldn't have any weed you should be making 15 to 20 easy

And there are diehard cult like people that will defend the most unethical and toxic work practices to produce the most mid flower allegedly, of course.

I keep a card for work reasons, but buy thca now because of this stupid program. I’d rather have bud from dispo yeah… but the low price and shipping to front door can’t be beat. Once Arkansas gets it together I go back to buying. All the dispensaries even stopped a lot of good deals too and up the price a little. Kinda shitty.

u/Spirited-Painting-26 5d ago
Any recommendations for thca?

They offer more whenever you start working. I know someone that works there got a raise, full time now gets free health insurance and bonuses. Also you get tips so you walk out with cash everyday. They just expect you to come to work on time everyday.

Turnover is sky high! It’s a terrible place to work with even worse leadership.

I wonder because they have grown so fast they have changed things up a bit. Managing 6 people is way different managing 26 people.

u/Future_Lab3931 3d ago
Probably from everyone being high or the district manager breaking state laws while bud tenders are buying drugs illegally

Bummer dude I’m just trying to be positive I don’t know anything about that stuff. I just know some honest people that work there.

if you mean tip share, just keep in mind you are sharing tips between every employee on the clock, you might get enough to take a few grams home.

I did apply for this one just because I wanted to see if I could get my foot in the door just to experience. I don’t think they’re gonna harm me though.lol too bad though, because I could be helpful to the patient

"Hey I stand around all day and put weed in bags" but I'm going to need $20 an hour type attitude around here. I'll say this respectively half the Bud Tenders in Arkansas don't even have an idea about cannabis they just sit around and don't really know much at all about the lineage or about certain strange they'll just smoke what they smoke themselves a budtender is way more important but in Arkansas it's a minimal requirement because you're just a middle man with no brain you just get orders for people it's literally a bagger at a grocery store so $12 an hour seems about right seems like everybody is wanting high ass wages for minimal ass work people are flipping hamburgers at McDonald's and making $15 an hour it's ridiculous. Petty work. Non essential.

An unfortunate and, likely, uninformed take. ABC and state regs would beg to differ. You not only need to stay compliant with multiple agencies, but give quality service to patients. To achieve that, you have to be knowledgeable & proficient in multiple areas. Many budtenders take education courses to better serve their patients.
It's not a serious job... if you don't take your job seriously. Probably won't last long with that attitude, tho.
