TVAPE Blows a Lotta Hot Air

Pros

The one positive element I can point out is there are a few decent people unfortunately stuck working there. However, none of these people are involved in management, so their positive contributions are basically nullified.

Cons

You might thinking working for a vaporizer retailer would be a fun, chill job, but my experience here was nothing of the sort. I honestly cannot imagine a more unpleasant workplace due to the unabashed exploitation of the employees and mental/emotional abuse dispensed by management on a daily basis. This is exemplified by the insane turnover rate in the office, with at least 15 people either quitting or being fired (mostly the former) in the year I was there (and many more have quit since then). Management refuses to take any responsibility for employee dissatisfaction and will openly disparage past employees (and sometimes current ones) in front of the entire office using derogatory slurs. Racism, sexism, homophobia, human rights and employee standards violations are all common, and if you try to challenge any of these, management will target your performance and write you up for minor infractions which go ignored for more favoured employees. The lack of organization is stunning; new hires will just be standing around while management runs around trying to figure out what their role is. Even with longer-term employees, job titles are meaningless, tasks are assigned at random, and your role can be changed without consent. If you do end up working here, make sure you know your rights because management does not seem to care about them in the slightest. Also, be on the lookout for constant payroll issues and be thankful if you ever receive your (meager, sub-industry standard) paycheck on time and/or without errors. Seemingly the only way to advance is through sucking up to upper management and snitching on less favoured employees. Also, management insists on blasting Drake through the open office speaker on a daily basis so if you're not into Drizzy then working here will be particularly miserable. The entire experience working at TVAPE/TorontoVaporizer was incredibly disappointing, disheartening, and downright dystopian, and I cannot imagine it being a satisfactory working experience for anyone who actually values their time, growth, and sense of self.

DO NOT DO IT

Pros

You get to meet a lot of new people (due to high turnover) There are some good and extremely capable people working there who could achieve great things but they are not being heard because the management refuses to listen to anything but their echo-chamber of "yes men"

Cons

Laughable wages, no benefits (only promises, was told they're coming soon when I started, was leaving to the sound of the same talks). People right out of school, new immigrants, or people who are desperately trying to get out of the service industry are the ones who usually end up working there since no professional would stand for that kind of treatment. The staff is constantly in a state of fear of the upper management which guides all decisions rendring it an extremely inefficient and nonsensical work environment. The atmosphere is bizarre, If you ever wanted to feel like you're in the army here's your chance, the management also loves to use war metaphors right and left. While some people can seem friendly (and don't get me wrong, some truly are), the place as a whole is a shark tank and it all comes from the top. The company has a bad reputation in the industry and it's not a coincidence.
