I found an available position at Ayr Wellness as a production tech and am considering sending my resume over. The only part that makes me skeptical is that the overall work satisfaction rating from previous employees is a 2.1/5 stars on indeed… I’m looking to try something new with my career and working with cannabis infusions seems very intriguing to me, any advice on wether it’s really worth my time or not?.. Job commute is probably 75 minutes both ways, I’m aware that most people will assume I’m an idiot for even considering that, but I think it would be good for me to try something other than restaurant work for the first time in 6 years. I’m currently employed and probably wouldn’t commit to the production tech as full time right away, but maybe just to see if I like it?
You took time out of your day to make a post to ask a bunch of reddit users if you should take a job.
jeez man.
lets go back to elementary school and make a venn diagram and see the pros and cons eh?
posted at 7am est oh man.
Was just wondering if anybody that had experience with that position had any input 
Thanks for helping me think it’s not such a bad idea lol
Over the years I have found that infusing cement with cannabinoids has been one of the most satisfying parts of my job. I highly recommend it.

Awesome, just the answer I was looking for lol. Thanks for the feedback!
Have you actually worked in an infusions position or was that all a joke?
I’ve infused floors, walls, ceilings, and almost every piece of clothing I own with cannabis extracts over the years…
I don’t recommend attempting to directly infuse wooks using pressurized extracts at 100+C, but it does work well for walls and other hard to reach locations…
Spilling cannabinoids on the floor is no joke… although spilling them on the ceiling arguably takes more skill.
See : Be careful what you turn into a pressure vessel. for an example of someone else’s work
If you are just going to be infusing terps into disty all day, it might be a good way to get your foot in the door. Ultimately though, it’s going to depend on the place and I don’t know much about Ayr’s operation. Are they extracting and distilling in-house? If they are, and they’re open to teaching you extraction and distillation down the road, then it could be a good entry point that scales into a real career. If they don’t produce their own distillate or terps, then being an infusion tech is almost certainly going to be somewhat mundane, low skill/low pay with minimal upward mobility.
I would not take indeed reviews from employees too seriously though. This is a tough industry at times, yes- but the people who are taking the time to write negative reviews are overwhelmingly going to be people who were fired, and you have no way of knowing if it was a justified termination or not.
Personally, it would take a livable wage and clear upward mobility for me to consider a job 75 mins away, no matter how cool I think it might be. Just my two cents.
If its a cart filling operation the mixer is typically the de facto team leader. Easiest way to get experience on every part of the operation for horizontal mobility.
welcome to cannabis @CareerChange. Your experience in the restaurant industry will help you spiritually and mentally as its basically the same industry as cannabis. Everything will be the same from the equipment to the employees to the turnover.
Don’t forget the eyes & facial hair
Awesome, thank you for the positive input. Do you mind me asking what experience you have and how long you’ve been in the industry?
Thank you for taking time out of your day to write such a well worded response. I appreciate your honesty and it gives me some important things to consider
Lmao thanks for the warning good sir
Lol, I’d say the best way to figure out someone’s industry experience here is to check out their post history a bit. You may find all kinds of interesting info reading through the post history of those who have replied to you already. Short answer is that these guys all know what they’re talking about, with plenty of experience to back it up.
Regardless of what anyone here says, if there’s a job you want to try out, why not? Go for it. Even if that particular job doesn’t work out, you’ll be getting to know others in the industry and making new connections. This job could be the stepping stone to the perfect job, or it could be the job that shatters your dreams. You’ll never know unless you try. Then again, you’ll need a new car way earlier driving 75 minutes each way every day.
In the cart making industry? Not that long, a smidgen over a decade. My experience is making carts so every position
