Grasslands Reviews

This company has major issues, all of which I've shared with them firsthand. Much of this company is run unethically, which is a shame because the cannabis industry already has a poor reputation, and those of us who truly care are trying to clean it up. We don't need bad actors like Grasslands adding to the stigma and existing problems. Some folks at a certain title make more than others just because they are good negotiators. Others make hardly enough to get by. Everyone works incredibly hard. Everyone, that is but the company's current senior leadership in PR. They pushed their prior leadership out the door by not fixing all these concerns and more. The current PR team's leadership is not there to mentor and exists solely to take home a paycheck and the glory of big client wins they didn't help get. Adding to the list of unethical practices, many of the positive reviews you read below are forced due to a quid pro quo situation by leadership because the employee in question owed the company for PTO they had taken and not yet accrued, or relocation or sign-on bonuses that were given but they hadn't met their minimum time with the company yet, etc. Which by the way is ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL & BAD PR PRACTICES. It's amazing this company has not gotten sued yet for its host of HR-related missteps. Leadership only realizes what they've got when it's gone (or when it's about to leave) and acts reactively, never proactively taking measures to retain employees and boost morale. Only when an employee provides their notice of leaving does leadership respond and it's always too little too late, throwing raises or title bumps at people who deserved it months ago. If you do stay, you'll find they're back to their bs in no time at all- undervaluing and overworking you and never LISTENING. The CEO is a textbook narcissist who wants to be front and center of all public relations efforts involving the company and sees himself as "The Godfather of Cannabis Journalism" (yes he literally said that, regularly) even though obviously Tom Forcade who created High Times invented cannabis journalism, not this dude. I don't recommend working here unless you want to be underpaid, undervalued and have others take credit for your work.
