Remember, just because some of these cannabis industry jobs appear "cool" or prestigious doesn't mean they are really much different (or better) than any other retail position. The latest report from Vangst shows the highest-earning positions are: Director of Cultivation (up to $250,000 per year), Director of Extraction (up to $191,000 per year) and Outside Sales Representative (up to $150,000 per year). People who are dead serious about working with weed might need to invest in themselves before jumping into a job that pays the big bucks. The only difference is a person is not just going to walk in off the street and snag one of these skilled positions. There are plenty of higher paying jobs in the cannabis industry. Sadly, these low-level positions are the new minimum wage jobs of tomorrow. This is the reason positions like Budtender and Bud Trimmer, while essential to any dispensary operation, are considered the lowest earning jobs on the spectrum. The average salary is around $23 per hour, reports the Denver Business Journal.Ĭonsidering the reality of the overall job market in key legal states, selling weed is not likely to help people gain much more financial security than waiting tables. In California, where the most substantial showing of the cannabis industry has emerged, the average hourly wage for any job is close to $25 per hour, according to the Sacramento Business Journal. Many states and cities have already made a move. Sure, the federal minimum wage is still only $7.25 per hour, but there is a push in some parts of the country to raise the minimum wage to the $15-mark. That'll be $27.73, please!Īlthough $16 per hour is a better wage than other, traditional dead-end jobs, like washing dishes or taking orders at McDonald's, there could come a time real soon when this is not exactly the case.
And we've already established his stature in the job market. That's precisely what old Wally Snider used to do down at the Lucky Liquor. So, let me get this straight: Budtenders must be friendly to customers, answer their questions about specific products and ring up their purchases. Remains up to date on all cannabis regulations to ensure compliance within the dispensary." Provides information to customers on product choices, consumption methods, compliance, and safety.
Uses point-of-sale system and other technology to ensure all cannabis product sales are properly tracked. "Provides excellent customer service to all patients and customers in medical and recreational dispensaries. But this title is a little bit misleading.Īccording to California-based employment agency Vangst, the job description for a Budtender is as follows: The term "Budtender" resonates in a way that could make prospective new hires feel like there is a level of prestige that comes with the position. So no sir, no way is anyone employed with the cannabis sector at risk of losing themselves inside the dark circle of mediocrity and poverty as a result of joining this new legion of weed dealer known as Budtenders. And when it comes to accepting a position as a Budtender, those employees can expect to earn between $12 and $16 per hour. After all, some of the latest statistics show that cannabis-related jobs have increased by 690 percent over the past year, with average salaries growing by more than 16 percent. May be assigned other job duties as necessary (example: make pre-rolls as requested, packaging and shucking).Right out the gate, some protectors of the cannabis industry will argue, no, there isn't a single position in the world of cannabis commerce that could be considered dead-end.Communicate well with supervisor and team to ensure efficient and productive environment.Managing storage containers with and without product in them in overhead shelves.Maintaining the utmost quality of the plant.Maintenance and cleanliness of trim room and workspace.Accurately weighing and recording all trim weights.Efficiently trims dry cannabis plants using trimming scissors.The Trimmer is primarily responsible for preparing and trimming cannabis plants to assure the greatest possible quality of product and appearance are achieved in preparation for distribution.
