Pros

- Coworkers are awesome. - Gained exposure to job functions that I used to catapult my career into a much better postion.

Cons

- The company culture is very toxic. No room for creativity or innovation whatsoever. - Bullying is the management style here, maybe because the majority of management has no college education. - Everyone freaks out when the General Office is at the store. - The pay is garbage, especially for management. - The health insurance offered is unaffordable. No 401k matching at all. - If you are in management, good luck having a life outside of work. You will "clo-pen" at least twice a week and will be expected to work 48+ hours a week. - As long as you work for this company you will work every other weekend, even the General Managers. - Unrealistic expectations when it comes to making payroll. - NO loyalty at all, you can expect your job to be threatened on a daily basis.

Pros

Pay was decent 40K first year as a manager trainee. Looks good on a resume

Cons

Work life balance was awful. Worked 52+ hours every week. I worked there 2 years and had 3 paid off days. Work ever other weekend. Job can be very stressful.

Pros

Easy to get a job with Menards in recession.

Cons

Cutthroat, will move you anywhere at the drop of a hat. Will get rid of anyone no matter how long they have been there.
