Pros

Job is never boring, get to interact with many people, pay is better than with competing stores, promotions are given when earned, promotion from within keeps workers motivated to reach the next level

Cons

long hours, sometimes management places too much emphasis on sales and not enough on customer satisfaction, they do not hire outside people for management positions regardless of relevant industry experience

Pros

Pay was decent 40K first year as a manager trainee. Looks good on a resume

Cons

Work life balance was awful. Worked 52+ hours every week. I worked there 2 years and had 3 paid off days. Work ever other weekend. Job can be very stressful.

Menards is your Life

Pros

If willing to relocate, one may advance within the company. However, do not expect to be granted the opportunity to give your opinion on where you wish to relocate; your two options - relocate or termination.

Cons

As stated in the Headline, expect your daily life to obey the motto of "Menards is your Life". Upper management members do not understand, nor do they wish to understand, the boundaries of work and personal life. All-in-all, upper management members do not care about their employees and their families.
