Pros

good pay, learned a lot about a variety of different products. Good resume builder.

Cons

Long hours, store management seems to think that department managers and assistants are machines and assign way too many tasks. Dont expect to have very much time off. I worked at Menards for 8 years, worked in 3 different states and opened up 2 new stores, was terminated for allowing a guest to return a utv that was purchased only 2 hours before and had not been driven. Company culture seems very anti-employee and you are always walking on eggshells.

Pros

Menards has decent paychecks, decent benefits, they offer in-home training on department knowledge, and they offer the ability to learn other departments.

Cons

Store management can be unfair, cashiers are bottom of the food chain, raises are 10 cents per 6 months and you have to take a quiz to be eligible for the raise.

Pros

Extra pay on the weekends.

Cons

There's not enough room here to list all the things wrong with this company. Total lack of professionalism from management, sexual harassment left and right, poor pay, very poor vacation policy for full time employees, very inflexible at the corporate level from HR in terms of scheduling as well as understanding of conditions. Serving the public is the worst, especially with the return policies in place at Menards preventing returns of certain items despite customers having legitmate claims.
