The Sales Associate is the main point of contact and source of information for our customers. Our Sales Associates are knowledgeable, friendly and able to establish a connection with each customer; whether they be medical, recreational, or first time users. The Sales Associate must be empathetic towards all and have a strong willingness to find out what our customers’ needs are.
