Pros

Went from on the floor, to morning stock to early morning cleaning. Cleaning was the only position my boss was actually tolerable. He was nice and enjoyable. The other two were terrible.

Cons

Bosses refusing to let you use the restroom. Boss not letting you come in on your break from the garden center. Told to be in the garden center my whole shift without notice. Boss would not let me go purchase any sun screen on break or on shift. Very sunburnt by end of the 10 hour shift. Employees would hide up in the overhead storage for patio furniture to look busy and keep away from managers. Managers never happy with what you did. Two or three telling you to do different things at the same time. Then upset when you didn't complete it. At the end of the shift managers would walk through isles and not let you leave until everything was spotless and in straight lines. Frequently get out after midnight.

Pros

Good paying job for a college student. Hours are flexible. Most coworkers are enjoyable.

Cons

Tasks can be repetitive if you aren't moved around often. There are some pretty harsh rules and fines if anything is ever damaged.

Pros

Menards works very well with students who are currently attending high school or college. When summer comes around they are able to increase your hours to what you want.

Cons

There is a really high employee turn over rate. There is a lack of motivation in the employees to work.
