Pros
The hours and pay are great for a P/T job either for a college student or supplemental income. It's actually a great job to be social, good excercise, and allows you to work with cool displays/products.
Cons
The F/T role is a joke. What everybody else has posted is true, Menards exclaims that you will make this amount or this amount; which compared to other jobs is somewhat comparable. The huge difference is about 10-15 more hours a week to get there with the nights,weekends, and holidays. It's very depressing when you see everybody come into the store smiling and laughing around the Holiday's when you have to work. My advice is to only take this role if you have no kids and minimal family, i understand you have to do what you got to do but don't get sucked into the Menards trap. I feel sorry for the F/T that have worked their so long and can't get out due to economical contrainsts. Yes John/Larry Menard the employees chose to work their, but that doesn't mean you don't have to have Corporate Social Responsibility and treat employees like it's a military.
