Pros

Recognized company name and low prices on lower quality goods

Cons

Very inflexible personnel policies. Management uses extreme punishment measures (e.g. 3 day layoff/no pay) for minor infringements . If late 3 times by more than 5 minutes in 90 day rolling period, you get fired--regardless of length of service or reason. Very low moral among hourly staff.

Pros

Payroll isgood and i get all the hours i need. Day goes fairly fast when working there, except in the winter when no one wants to buy home improvement supplies and the garden center is closed.

Cons

Dirty and jobs gets boring fast. People are rude and there is a lot that is expected of you with little training

Pros

Very flexible on hours. You need a day off, weekend, a week, just ask the manager and he/she will work with you. The pay is decent, depending on your job market and what region of the country you are in. It could always be worse but always be better. When you live away from a major city or a high tax bracket the money you make is enough to live on. I support myself and another on the, what seems messily pay compared to most standards, but I live comfortably.

Cons

Full time employment means you MUST have open availability. That means you could pull a noon to eleven shift one day and the very next open at five in the morning. Again, the pay... could be better. The folks at the competitor make more than we do in the retail environment. Each year you are able to receive two raises... for ten cents a piece. You max out after nine years at a dollar and eighty cents. Sound worth it? Nope, Menards is a decent place to work when your options are slim or nonexistent but don't expect to make money, just break even.
