What are the responsibilities and job description for the CannAssociate at The Source position at The Source AR?
Grow With Us!
The Source is a craft medical cannabis company located in Rogers, Arkansas. Founded in August 2019, we have blazed new trails and grown to be much more than a dispensary. Let us be blunt though, our state-of-the-art facility houses a boutique grow facility, lab, and kitchen. Beyond production, we also pride ourselves on offering quality customer service on our dispensary sales floor, in reception, and at our lifestyle store, located all in the same building.
A CannAssociate?
A good question. Thank you for asking. We always set the goal of “excellence” and we hope to grow our team with that core value in mind. A CannAssociate is an entry-level position, this person will be cross-trained on a diversity of tasks - everything from customer-facing service responsibilities to cultivation and production assistance, such as the harvest, trimming, and packaging of cannabis plants.
While a CannAssociate is an entry-level position, all applicants must be explicitly aspirational about growing into a budtender role or a more specialized production role. We are looking for leaders, not seeds or stems!
