Pros

good pay, learned a lot about a variety of different products. Good resume builder.

Cons

Long hours, store management seems to think that department managers and assistants are machines and assign way too many tasks. Dont expect to have very much time off. I worked at Menards for 8 years, worked in 3 different states and opened up 2 new stores, was terminated for allowing a guest to return a utv that was purchased only 2 hours before and had not been driven. Company culture seems very anti-employee and you are always walking on eggshells.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
