Pros

-The employees you'll run into at the store level are fantastic, hard-working people. -Store management will typically go out of their way to accommodate availability. -Opportunities for promotion are numerous.

Cons

-Greatly underpay employees. -Corporate office is disconnected from store level issues. -Hours are insane for department and store managers. -Work life balance for department managers and above is absolutely awful to the point that you will hate your life. -Dedicated, long-time employees are treated terribly compared to other similar companies. -Menards requires store managers to move constantly if they want to be promoted in a timely manner. This adversely effects families.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
