Pros

The pros were just being able to have a job. Menards will just about hire anybody, and they have a high turnover rate, so jobs are always available.

Cons

The pay was not worth the demands they placed on you. They demand the utmost excellence from part time people. You will either work many hours or almost none depending on the season. Its a nice job if your a person that does not care about your job. Any one that is of value, they tend to squeeze anything out of you that they can. They want you to be expert salesmen with wolf like senses sniffing out the cash in peoples wallets , while at the same time driving you to be the fastest stocker you can be. I can understand striving for excellence, but if you want people to go beyond excellence and keep demanding more without compensation, then your going to get what you get.

Pros

Yearly bonus profit sharing check.

Cons

The amount of work they put on you when your main focus should be customer service. But you can't because you're putting stock away or fixing a display because the management that wants you to help customers now wants you to fix a display. Or do out of stocks. Who knows what they'll randomly come up with. Poor benefits offered as well.
