Pros

Pay is decent. We get profit sharing.

Cons

Working stupidly long hours one week and then "NO OVERTIME" the next week. Dislike being called out over the radio that is used for communication between departments and feeling like you are stupid sometimes.

Pros

The starting hourly pay and the bonus check that you get after putting in 1000 hours and more.

Cons

They work you like a dog and take advantage of you and if they can get rid of a full timer to put a part timer they will to save money. They will figure out a way to get rid of you.

Pros

The pay is good Sense of achievement Promotion comes to those who work hard...IN TIME Weekend Pay Meet some cool people

Cons

High School Drama(mostly by the HR and GM'S) Favoritism Long Hours EX:one day you work 10a-10p then the next you have to work 5a-5p then 8a-10p Store Managers-very disrespectful talk down to people under them(ive worked at 3 stores it's happened at all of them) They hire by "looks" and not skills No life No leadership by dept mgrs. GM's refuse to defend/backup dept. mgrs (unless you're their favorite) Piece of advice...stay away from menards..the place will drain you for all your worth. Ruin your life in more way than one. making you work 60hrs a week being disrespected day after day. the products they sell are horrible and most arent even made in america..the "made in america" sale they run is a scam..what it is...is a small small part of the product is made in america lets say 5% and 95% is made in china..they'll say 100% made in america....its...BS
