Pros

Very cool co-workers, overall nice customers, and no one is breathing down your neck every checking in on you every five minutes to see your productivity.

Cons

Department managers are not appreciated by upper management and do not pay them their worth...this affects how department managers treat their department employees.

Pros

Detail training, hands on experience, and working with some alright people, due to high turnover rates positions/promotions are always opening up ( don't know if that's a pro or con)

Cons

starting pay for a manger trainee with a college degree - 11 dollars an hour. Managers are totally taken advantage of by the company - most manager work close to 3,000 hours a year and makes less then $50,000. No work/life balance - your life is Menards!

Pros

I see no pros working at Menard's.

Cons

Everything at Menard's is atrocious... you're on your feet all day, The pay is terrible (unless you're a freaking manager) they make you work all week or mon-sat so you'll only have sunday off. You also have to have freaking proof for everything. If you need to take one day off it doesn't matter if you're sick for one day, stuck in the snow, have a family emergency or whatever if you don't have proof you'll get marked no matter what.
