Pros

1) Decent pay at the entry-level. 2) Good retention bonus. Starts at 2.5% in your first year and increases 2.5% each year thereafter to a max of 15.0%. I think this is managers only, though.

Cons

1) Crappy benefits and John Menard is the 37th richest person in the United States. He's sitting on $20.7 billion but has healthcare with a high deductible and max-out of pocket. There's also no 401k profit match. That's ridiculous right there for the amount of money he has available. 2) The store I worked at, Germantown, had people with no social skills. It's hard to explain, but people don't talk to each other much. They literally just walk by. I didn't take this personally. It was just weird. I'm not an extrovert and I had to start conversations to get to know people. Odd when you're the new guy. People were nice. Just odd. Never seen anything like it before.

Pros

40+ Hours per week of work guaranteed.

Cons

A toxic work environment can lead to termination without warning. Senior management prioritizes their interests and the company’s well-being, often disregarding employees’ rights and legal obligations. HR’s role is to protect senior management and the company, potentially at the expense of employees’ rights. Senior management continually chooses to a blind eye to wrong doing of favored employees, while knowingly prioritizing punishment of lower employees using fabricated policies that aren’t actually within store policy and procedures. Lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of integrity run rampant with in the store and company. Unethical hiring practices, and weaponized incompetence to justify the out right gaslighting of your financial income and incentives. Pay deductions common place.
