About The Position

JARS Cannabis is seeking a highly motivated and energetic Retail Representative who shares our passion for providing quality products and an excellent customer experience. The Retail Representative works closely and collaboratively with store leadership and reports to the General Manager. This role is responsible for providing customers with exceptional service by meeting individual needs, exceeding expectations, and demonstrating excellent knowledge of the cannabis products, deals, and promotions we offer. Working at a licensed cannabis dispensary in Colorado requires all employees to hold a valid Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) Employee License, commonly referred to as a "MED Badge." This is a mandatory state requirement and is non-negotiable for employment. All candidates must obtain a Colorado MED Employee License prior to their first day of work, or provide proof of a Conditional Employee License (which allows work while a full background check is being processed). The MED Badge requires a fingerprint-based background check conducted through the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division. The MED Employee License application fee is $100.00 and is the responsibility of the applicant. MED Badges are valid for two (2) years and must be renewed before expiration. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age and must not have been convicted of a felony within the three (3) years immediately preceding their application. Applicants must not be subject to a current sentence for a felony conviction, including probation, parole, or deferred judgment. Applicants who are law enforcement officers, prosecuting officers, or employees of the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division or a local licensing authority are not eligible.
