I work within the cannabis industry. This week I interviewed at a new company and was hired on the spot.
However, once I began asking questions about my schedule I quickly realized what kind of company this is.
HR told me they require 100% availability 7 days a week. Your schedule rotates, so different shifts every week with “last minute changes you’re required to accommodate.”
As the title says, this is a minimum wage job. I interviewed for a shift lead position and they told me that on top of “100% availability” it’s my duty to be on call on my days off and if I want one specific day off, I must request the day 1 month in advance, which they may not approve.
I should have realized what I was dealing with after hearing that one of their locations unionized, also every employee I met had been there less than a month.
Her first interview question:
“What do you owe your employer?”
Thanks for reading! I’m still job hunting obviously haha.
