Pros
Menards is an excellent place to work if you’re single and want to make a decent living. However, if you have loved ones at home, your relationship with them will suffer. You’re anticipatedto work long hours and and at least 2 weekends a month. You’ll also most likely close 2-4 nights a week, meaning you won’t be home until 11pm or later. You will work a minimum of 42 hours a week and sometimes upwards of 60. Expect to miss holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. But like I said if you have no one at home and don’t mind working a lot you can make good money. Easy to promote from within.
Cons
Menards does not offer good benefits, not even matching a 401k. They do offer a yearly cash bonus, though. I recommend this as an excellent first job to someone first starting to establish their finances. However, Management positions at Menards do a very poor job at maintaining a work-life balance. It's not uncommon to have to close one night and open the next morning.
