Pros

Very little job requirements for people beginning their career. Easy to get in and tough to get out.

Cons

Management not understand of work life balance. Most people working there have very little education. Managers thrown into their positions.

Pros

I thought the pay was good (around $9 on week days, after you got your high school diploma, and then an extra $2.50 per hour on weekends!), at least from the perspective of a teenager. I usually found management to be nice! Menard's sends out little gifts on all the holidays, which is just a really fun gesture.

Cons

I usually had trouble leaving my shift on time. Often had to ask repeatedly if I could go clock out now that my scheduled shift was over. In the winter, it gets SUPER cold by the checkout lines. Double doors into the store would have helped. My hands often went numb.

Pros

Excellent opportunities for new managers and those willing to relocate. Many new store openings each year provide endless opportunities for promotion.

Cons

Must be willing to relocate - no exceptions. Other than that - just the hassle of retail hours, but this is not exclusive to Menard's.
