## Wellness Guide — Holistic Industries | Gardena, CA Holistic Industries is hiring a Wellness Guide at its Gardena dispensary in Los Angeles County. This is a front-of-house cannabis retail role — part product expert, part patient advocate, part community connector. You're the person customers trust when they walk through the door. ### What You'll Actually Be Doing As a Wellness Guide, you're guiding customers and patients through Holistic's product selection — flower, concentrates, edibles, and beyond. You'll translate their needs into the right product recommendation, handle transactions with accuracy, and keep the floor running clean. Holistic operates across multiple states and takes compliance seriously: expect to follow SOPs and state regs to the letter. You won't just be ringing up orders. Holistic looks for people who can hold a real conversation about cannabis — why someone might reach for an indica vs. a sativa, what a 1:1 CBD ratio means in practice, how to serve a first-time visitor differently than a daily regular. ### Salary Range Not listed. California dispensary wellness/budtender roles in the LA market typically land between $16–$20/hr before tips, per Vangst's 2026 California wage data — but do not assume this is the confirmed range. Verify at application. ### Required Skills - Genuine knowledge of cannabis products, effects, and consumption methods - Customer service or retail experience in a fast-paced setting - Strong communication — you can hold space for a new patient and an experienced dabber in the same shift - Attention to detail for compliance tasks (cash handling, ID verification, inventory logging) - Team player in a culture-forward environment ### Growth Path Holistic Industries promotes from within. Wellness Guide is the entry ramp into cannabis retail leadership — Lead Budtender, Key Holder, Shift Lead, and Assistant Manager are all natural next steps for high performers. Holistic has operations across multiple states, so there's real upward mobility for anyone willing to grow with the company. ### Region Notes Gardena sits in the South Bay of Los Angeles County, a competitive retail cannabis corridor. You're near Hawthorne, Inglewood, and Torrance — a market where product knowledge and customer relationship-building separate good dispensaries from great ones. Holistic operates the BEYOND / HELLO retail banner in multiple markets. ### How to Stand Out Come in with specific product knowledge — not just "I like weed" energy, but operator-level familiarity with cultivars, extraction methods, or consumption formats. If you've worked compliance-heavy retail before (liquor, pharmacy, firearms), say so. Holistic values people who take the rules as seriously as the product. Reference the company's focus on high-CBD proprietary strains and patient-first mission in your cover note. Apply on the employer site via Vangst.
