Pros

In the video viewing department it was pretty good pay for an entry level job, extra 2.50 an hour on weekends, a nice friendly office setting, and flexible scheduling.

Cons

At least in the video viewing department, management changed frequently and consequenlty the managers didn't know what we (video viewers) were doing. It was very confusing. Overall, Menards feels very controlling, there was very minimal talking allowed, we had to tell our manager when we were going to the bathroom, there was cameras in our dept room so upper management could watch us while we were watching the stores, etc. There was a lot of rules and regs that seemed to trump basic reasoning.

Pros

ok pay for part time, profit sharing is a nice bonus, some nice people to work with, flexible to a degree with scheduling

Cons

horrible micro management from the general office, the store I was at was full of good people, but the go doesn't let you be a good person. horrible benefits, expensive insurance, they call profit sharing a bonus but a bonus is only a bonus if it is actually extra money, not money you rely on.

Pros

Weekend pay is great, pretty steady hours in summer. Very rarely run out of things to do and almost always busy.

Cons

In winter the payroll is slashed and there becomes a struggle for hours. Constant berating by customers for their own mistakes. Management usually backs down and sides with customer when special order contracts clearly state all terms.
