Pros

Menards is a good place for advancement and it pays ok. I learned a lot while working at menards and met some great people.

Cons

The hours are terrible. The management is constantly tightening things down on you. It is very stressful. The pay is not worth the ammount of stress.

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.
