We’re thrilled to share that Bud & Mary’s has been named one of the winners of the 2025 Best Cannabis Companies to Work For by Cannabis Business Times. This award highlights companies that prioritize employee well-being, growth opportunities, and a healthy work/life balance. As a multigenerational, family-owned business, Bud & Mary’s understands the importance of taking care of our employees. We are honored to receive this recognition of our efforts to not only provide competitive benefits but also to create a workplace culture built on empathy, employee well-being, professional development, and support for our local communities.
We provide full-time employees with health care benefits starting the first day of the following month after hire, a retirement savings plan with employer-matched contributions from day one, 11 paid holidays, 15 days of paid vacation, and incentive and wellness programs. We also offer flexible schedules, parental leave benefits, and access to lactation facilities to ensure our employees feel supported in every stage of their cannabis careers.
We are committed to the professional growth and development of every person at our company, ensuring our employees have access to ongoing training and opportunities to build skills and knowledge. Our teams collaborate and attend conferences, digital workshops and trade shows that help us build our industry expertise and find new ways to innovate. And we know that fun is important, too, so we prioritize scheduling team outings and holiday parties to ensure time for socializing and team building.
Beyond our workplace culture, Bud & Mary’s is deeply committed to engaging with and giving back to our local communities. In 2024, we were honored with the Easterseals Iowa Corporate Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of our volunteerism and financial support of the organization’s mission of 100% equity, inclusion, and access for individuals with disabilities, families, and communities. We also partner with nonprofits and advocacy groups through initiatives like our AWARE-N-US campaign to drive meaningful change and inclusion across the cannabis industry.
This award joins a growing list of accolades for Bud & Mary’s. In 2024, we were named a winner of the Greater Des Moines Partnership’s Economic Impact Award, which honors businesses that make significant contributions to the region’s economic vitality through capital investment, job creation, and facility expansion.
We’re proud to be named one of the Best Cannabis Companies to Work For in 2025 and look forward to ensuring that Bud & Mary’s is always a workplace where employees feel valued, empowered, and engaged.
