Pros

is a well established company with policies that are made to treat you fair. call workers become a family, you learn useful things for life, if you are willing to relocate it is easy to move up in the company

Cons

some policies do not always treat the employee fairly, lots of cleaning, is a retail store so I expect lots of customer service with selling to all kinds of people, open on most holidays and weekends

Pros

Pretty flexible with your schedule, especially when it comes to school. If you have a good reason to miss work, they will certainly work with you.

Cons

The 5am shifts are horrible, and if you are not careful, you will find yourself working at 5am 3 or 4 days a week. Some of the work is sometimes pretty physically demanding, especially during the summer. It is very cold during the winter, so dress for the weather!

Pros

If you can stomach the long and odd hours, you will find that Menard offers a profit sharing plan that is not equaled in the industry. However, they also offer lower starting wages than some other home centers.

Cons

Menard has a lack of upper management. You won't find any regional managers, vice presidents etc. that are accessible to the everyday employee. Also there is not much for advancement opportunities at the executive level.
