Pros

opportunity to promote and make decent pay

Cons

very bad work-life balance for managers (50-60 hours not uncommon; I've worked 70-80 hours/wk a few times); GMs use profanity and vulgar language regularly and in management meetings; GMs are disrespectful, unprofessional, and downright mean/nasty. The GM enjoys making employees feel inferior. My training was all on me, no help from senior managers. Expectations are high, but rewards are low.

Pros

Great growth opportunities for people without degrees, Menards will do what they need to get managers and will pay to work you through the ranks.

Cons

Burn out members by drinking too much kool-aid, Managers get burnt out quick, take the knowledge and run!! Upper management will over work and burn out your managers quick, not much for down time for family

None really. Maybe the $2.50 extra an hour on the weekend.

Cons

They put anyone in a management position.
