evolving cannabis industry. We strive to make our workplace a
comfortable environment that keeps our employees energized and working

core mission is to normalize the cannabis industry, and that speaks to
the type of employees we have today and those we want to attract and
retain over the long term. We recruit new employees from leading
healthcare, manufacturing and consumer packaged goods companies, and
therefore our corporate culture and work environment rivals the best
corporate atmospheres that our employees are familiar with and expect
from their employer.
“From our onboarding process that makes new employees feel immediately
welcome, to comprehensive training programs and best-in-class
incentives, our employees become immediately integrated into the Cresco

employees are continuously educated through informational seminars on
developments in the cannabis industry and within our Company.
Importantly, every one of our employees is offered significant personal
growth and advancement opportunities as well as a quarterly review
process that empowers them to deliver feedback used to improve processes
and productivity and enhance their daily work environment.”
