Pros

Great summer job for college students. Staff receives bonuses for working on weekends and holidays. Upper-level management and HR team are very helpful and friendly.

Cons

The long hours standing by a cashier could be stressful during peak season. I could not imagine working here for more than a summer. Supervisors also tended to pick favorites.

Pros

work with fun people. good for a person who is into do it yourself work around the house. semi-flexible hours. the longer you stay the better the profit sharing benefits.

Cons

poor pay. no encouragement for climbing the ladder. management does not get paid much more than regular full time employees. in order to have time off you need to find a sub for your shift

Pros

Working at Menards offered a great hands-on experience for me. Their training programs, in-store management team (the good managers anyway), product training, and working with customers regularly allowed me to learn so much about home improvement, construction processes, managing a successful team, team-work, and customer service. My great team made the experience worth it.

Cons

The long hours that department and store managers were/are expected to work are rough, and sick days were unheard of. The corporate management team never seemed to recognize the employees as people. I've known a few great managers that moved up to store management levels, just to be demoted shortly after due to minor disagreements with corporate.
