Pros

Family friendly schedule and the IPS is a bonus. Two store bonuses to shop at Menards stores.

Cons

Very poor benefit package. To move up with the company you really have to be someone's buddy (buddy system) .

Pros

Opportunity to promote within is probably the best thing about this company. Benefits include profit sharing after working 2000 hours in a colander year. You get paid 2.50 more a hour to work on the weekends.

Cons

Upper management uses negative reinforcement in which results in low moral. Schedules for managers make it hard for a life balance.

Pros

Ability to move up quickly at least if there is need. Other than senior management some great people to work with. Sales are going the right way, up. Company has a strong sales level instead of a drop. Structured. Promotes from within. Possibility of transfer if desired. Decent beginning pay.

Cons

High turnover due to lack of leadership. Rolling shifts for management. Lack of appreciation from senior management. Expect a lot of fraternization at the one i worked at. Threats from senior management. Hostile work environment. Micro-managed. Very little payroll to get tasks completed.
