Pros

Good pay both during the week and on the weekends. My departments were flexible with my school schedule. Lots of moving around rather than being confined to one space.

Cons

Terrible benefits offered, late nights and early mornings, weekend schedule was terrible even though you got every other weekend off, department management was hit or miss but normally miss, lots of micromanagement from General Management and General Office, pay raise and performance evaluations were ridiculous, EXTREMELY easy to get roped into the "Menards Lifestyle" and never leave due to IPS and bonus structure, I've seen way too many good people waste away there and never leave because of the bonus structure

Pros

40+ Hours per week of work guaranteed.

Cons

A toxic work environment can lead to termination without warning. Senior management prioritizes their interests and the company’s well-being, often disregarding employees’ rights and legal obligations. HR’s role is to protect senior management and the company, potentially at the expense of employees’ rights. Senior management continually chooses to a blind eye to wrong doing of favored employees, while knowingly prioritizing punishment of lower employees using fabricated policies that aren’t actually within store policy and procedures. Lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of integrity run rampant with in the store and company. Unethical hiring practices, and weaponized incompetence to justify the out right gaslighting of your financial income and incentives. Pay deductions common place.
