Pros

Everyone with exception of a few at my store were so loveable. Very dedicated and committed team members on the sales floor, always willing to do right by the customer. Prd (payroll deduction) was a very nice perk. Customers were what made my day complete. Pay is good for full-time employees but the insurance benefits are less desirable. Extra $3 an hour on the weekends and opportunity to move up within the company if you really wanted to.

Cons

Very young head cashier's and management staff at the front end. Unprofessional and very clicky if they don't like you they will send you to do the jobs no one else wants to do. It's based on a popularity contest and if you don't fit in their circle you and everyone else will know. Very high turnover rate and an inconsistent schedule.

Pros

Pay is okay, other coworkers are good

Cons

They do not care about your safety multiple ramshackle rolling ladders, uneven floor in the garden center makes that especially dangerous Multiple times over the couple years I worked there I was asked to lift heavy heavy things up those ladders with little to no safety precautions Management only cares about themselves and is mostly just old white dudes despite qualified hardworking alternatives If you are considering working here, do not go into hardware, it is the miscellaneous bin of Menards and you will find yourself being spread thin and walking miles upon miles everyday as someone out in garden center needs help but then someone over by screws needs help And you have to rush there because they're working with a skeleton crew and the customers are rarely patient. All this is to say this place is kind of a revolving door, you'll get a few people that stick around But if you stay there for longer than 6 months to a year you are likely to have a completely different group of people you're working with. Expect to be working full time while also not being marked as full-time. You also don't get holiday pay unless you have worked there full-time for a full year. So even if you work there full-time if you haven't been there a year you're out of luck.

Pros

You get paid, although that’s the only pro.

Cons

Long days, little overtime, put up with micromanaging management, and not appreciated. You’re always expendable.
