Menards reviews

-Inflexible weekend schedule -Absolutely hectic spring/summer weekends -High expectations from management, perfection is almost a must -If you don't completely buy into the culture, you feel like a complete outsider. The culture is one that feels almost like indoctrination. That nothing is better than Menards. That there is nothing more worth while than working at menards. -If you don't like treating customers like criminals with every purchase, don't work here, they train heavily in asset protection to almost a fanatical level -Point attendance system is a poor idea, as it allows for no wiggle room in terms of being a little late or having to callout even when they mess up on time off. -You'll have to learn which managers are approachable and which you need to stay away from, this is a must -If you work during the spring/summer, expect to stay at least an hour after close putting away returns. -They don't have any people dedicated to putting away returns during store hours. -Yes, that means that some nights you'll close at 10 and leave around 1130 because they don't have a plan to deal with the absurd amount of returns they go through in a day. Keep in mind this doesn't include all the workers who actually understand where these items go. If you work anywhere but Cashiering, the closing call means you're done. If you're a cashier, the night has only just begun in some cases. -Cashiers often times have to pick up the slack for other departments, whether it's putting out product, or labeling product. - Didn't apply for cart duty/courtesy patrol? Too bad, you might have to do it anyways, and it is not good work.

Horrible hours, mediocre pay, mentally draining. You have to have the right personality to work here. You have to be fully prepared to be yelled at instead of reasoned with, and if you work here full time, don't expect a minute of flexibility. Was working 60 hour weeks, 14 hour shifts back to back. Would work until midnight and be expected to be back in at 6:30 am. They have a point system that works against you, and you have to sign a paper with a manager even if you are one second late on the time clock. I told them in the interview that I needed my wedding off of work, and was told it wouldn't be an issue. Three months before my wedding I verified with them that I would still be able to get those days off and was told no. HR told me I would need to call in sick in order to get it off, and the point system would have had me fired. I quit that day.
