Menards reviews

Long hours (48 hours a week), pay, benefits, and vacation (some details below). As of 2019 Analysts start out at about $17.00 an hour and only receive two $0.10 raises a year (cap out at about $18.50/hr). Sometimes you get a bonus increase but bonuses are paid out the following year. You will make about $45k in your first year, and 58K in year two. There's also an employee finding system so if you don't make the "company goals" (which you have no control over) you lose a portion of your bonus. The fining system also extends to "unpaid days off" so if you go over your vacation days for whatever reason (sick, have a baby, funeral, etc) you will be fined about $45 a day. The environment/company culture is stressful. You're expected to be at work rain, shine, or in a blizzard. Team Members don't receive any sick days so they're always coming in stick and it spreads around like wildfire. You're required to travel to a store 4 weekdays, 4 weekends, and one overnight per year. The onsite cafeteria (Wolf River) is a total ripoff. It literally costs more for a team member to buy something at Wolf River than it costs a guest to buy it at the store. It's basically like an overpriced gas station. Benefits: Healthcare for a family: - Plan A: $850/mo, $3,500 deductible, $11,800 max out of pocket - Plan B: $650/mo, $11,800 deductible, $11,300 max out of pocket - Plac C: $450/mo, $5,900 per person deductible, $11,800 per person max Dental Insurance: $25/mo, $50 per person deductable, $750 benefit max 401K Match: ZERO! Vacation: 10 days (this is also your sick leave), maxes out at 20 days after about 5 years.

This is a company that claims to be all about their employees but it the exact opposite. Minimum wage. Hours of unpaid training. Insane attendance policies that have no room what so ever for emergencies. There is no compassion in this place. No support from management. You are the lowest paid but highest worked employee. You must stop to help customers and cannot point or verbally direct them, however you are reprimanded for not doing your job. On busy days it is next to impossible to complete your own job successfully. Part time but demand full time hours. Hard labor work that requires a lot of team lift except you don't have enough capable team members. If you are a young fit person expect to be taken advantage of. I have witnessed management fire people who were hurt on the job, completely by accident, for other reasons so as to not have to pay workman's comp claims.
