I wasn’t new at managing businesses, but I was new to the dispensary business.
I wasn’t looking for a job when I found this one, but I was glad I found it.
Managing a cannabis dispensary was a new venture for me. The only thing that worried me was that employee turnover was a big problem in our area. Some cannabis dispensary users were always complaining about never seeing the same face twice. I didn’t know if it had to do with the job, the management team, or the lack of quality employees for the business. I knew they didn’t pay the best, considering what the employees had to go through to get the job, and I wondered if that was the problem with keeping employees. I told all employees that they should never discuss with other employees what they got paid. One employee may have other skills than some, and that could be a sticky situation. Many employees thought they all had the same position and skills, and they should all get paid the same, but that isn’t how it works. I should be the only person knowing what the employees make. I take care of the dispensary payroll and use the dispensary payroll software. The dispensary payroll software saves me time and keeps everyone paid on time. When I do a review on an employee, and they get a raise, I immediately change their pay rate in the dispensary payroll software, and the raise is updated.
