Pros

Good pay all the assistant managers and head cashiers are awesome Make good friends with people and everyone is nice

Cons

Manager makes fun of you and creates impossible expectations for you and is super immature Manager also doesn’t do the expectations they want others to achieve and is lazy and doesn’t know what they are doing One of the assistant gms breches confidentiality when reporting things and tells the person you are reporting as well as everyone else and is also super unprofessional as well as hr who doesn’t do a thing to stop or fix it and is also a problem as well the management doesn’t handle incidents properly and puts the person reporting at risk of retaliation and more conflict

Pros

Training on paper is the best I've seen in retail. Good pay. Lots of opportunities to move up. Company values are great

Cons

Menards is great on paper in every category. However EVERYTHING lives and dies with upper management. Most GM's play favorites, and will only promote based on this, so if you don't have brown lips you probably will stall. The epidemic of undermanagement in this company is due because there is a disconnect between general office, and the stores themselves. There is just not enough focus on the GM's to see if they are actually doing their jobs (which is being a leader to a team) It's very buddy buddy, and if your not in the clique at that particular store, you will be blessed to survive by the grace of God. While the company has great values, and I am sure some people live up to them, most do not. More arrogant, and narcissistic people get promoted, than humble, kind, and hardworking people. GM's cannot admitt when they are wrong, nor do no wrong for that matter.
