Cons

Health insurance is expensive No 401k match No parental leave Experienced employees tend to be under paid Limited opportunities to move up Everything has to be done thinking about what John Menard would think if he saw it Anytime something bad happens it comes back to the lowest level employee

Pros

Working at Menards came with great pay, first and foremost. Base pay for myself was $17, but all team members made an additional $3 an hour on weekends. We also had an end-of-the-year bonus that increased back on years worked, essentially, the longer you stayed, the more you would earn at the end of the year.

Cons

Worklife culture pushed me to turn in my 2 weeks and seek new employment. Team members were forced to take their mandatory (unpaid) lunch breaks, but the reason so many team members wouldn't take their lunches was because of our workload. Taking our lunch would delay the work needing to be finished, and upper management could be cruel sometimes if work wasn't finished by the end of the shift. As I was leaving, managers were starting to enforce lunch breaks, or else team members would be written up.
