Pros

Every other weekend off, open 1-2 days a week and get off early, easy work, otherwise nothing good at this place.

Cons

You have to learn hundreds of policies and procedures, half of which are not even followed. If you are a college graduate look elsewhere. Getting paid to sweep floors with a bachelors degree is not what I planned. ZERO work-life balance. When you work the weekends a typical schedule would be 10am-10pm Friday, 10-10pm Saturday, 8-8pm Sunday.

Pros

Easy and pretty laid back Quick advancement if willing to relocate out of state Looks good on your resume (kinda)

Cons

Must be willing to relocate out of state for advancement. Menards support on relocating is $1.00 raise and will contribute to half a U-Haul, and 3-4 nights in a hotel. If you have a college degree this program is a joke. You will be underpaid. You will not learn anything. You literally will have to commit to more than 45 hrs a week even if you get promoted all the way up to General Manager. "Retail Hours" typically 6:30am to 10pm. Every week your schedule will be different. A majority of the managers and higher-ups have no college education. So it can be sometimes difficult to communicate and you can expect them to make many mistakes. Raises. ""a joke"" you get a .10 ""cents"" raise every 6 months of employment and you max out at $2.50. (So for example you currently make $11.50hr. and after you have worked for 12.5 years you get $14hr.) (note that doesn't include promotion raises)
