Pros

Great starter job. Started as a part-time cashier while in college. Went through manager trainee program and moved up to asst. dept. manager. Advancement opportunites

Cons

There is no life outside of Menards once you become a manager or assistant. Most promotions come from moving to a new location. The pay is NOT enough for the work that is done. The general office puts the fear in all managers when they visit. Never ending list of demands from corporate on what needs fixing.

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.
