Menards reviews

- Vacation (I'll be with the company 3 years before I can get 2 weeks vacation) - Explaining to people that we're a hardware store (People don't know what we are. Is Menards a hardware store, or something else, because a hardware store wouldn't sell food, laundry detergent, or clothing.) - Shift work disorder (Never being able to get a consistent week of rest) - Dealing with disgruntled customers who are upset that they were sold a faulty product, while it seems corporate doesn't do enough to ensure quality standards - Insurance (Most inexpensive plan is still $160/month)

High turnover. Too many hours for managers that may be 70+. They will tell you that you will make about $40k as an Assistant Dept. Manager, but not that you will have to work 60+ hours to do so. Hourly pay is low, MT's start at $11.50 per hour and increases are based on knowledge tests that need to passed. Advancement will depend on the GM/Store Manager, can be blacklisted if one doesn't play the game. Hours can be troublesome due to the required close one night and open the next day (if someone works a 12 hour shift and closes (10pm or an avg. of about 45-90 minutes post closing), they will have to return the next day at 6:30 am, there may be little time for sleep). Medical insurance is high and doesn't offer anything special, especially for family.
