Pros

For retail the pay was acceptable, co workers were very friendly to a degree, manager were very knowledged in there respective departments

Cons

The hours were ludicrous, they'd work you 45 hours part time and not offer full and upwards to 55 full time, getting a day off would be impossible unless like 3 months heads up and there slogan is "take the money" even if it's not exactly what the guest wants

Pros

Pay rate compared to other places was much better. Hours during holidays were plentiful.

Cons

Way too much politics are involved when speaking about Menards. People are constantly let go for most ridiculous reasons. Seems like the only way to advance in the company is if you suck up to the superiors instead of putting in hard work. The company is not open to change and is definitely not open to employee's recommendations. From the 3 years that I worked there the company did less and less for the employees. Unfortunately since this is private owned business, and most of negative practices and policies come from the very top I do not see much change in the future. I do not recommend.

Pros

Job was good. People were nice. Rewarding helping others and you have the opportunity to learn a lot.

Cons

Hours were typical awful retail hours. And the company as a rule does not care about employees.
