Pros

I'm really not sure there are any pros to working at Menards

Cons

This company is the problem with this country. You are given an hourly wage, and that wage barely goes up. When it's time for a "review" of your raise, you have to quality for it. Then you have to pass some sort of test, and your raise ends up being around five cents, and if you are really smart, it's a ten cent raise. The company makes a lot of money because they dont pay employees anything. They keep there wages the same, and all the money goes to the top. Rich getting more rich, while those who actually put in the 70 hours stay the same. The company does not care at all about it's employees, and your GM/Assistant GM's treat the team members like absolute crap. I've worked at the company for about a year now, and can tell you first hand, this company is not a good place to work.
