Pros

Flexible hours and can transfer to different places if necessary.

Cons

Low pay in comparison to other companies. Management give little respect to stockers and other employees. Very little positive encouragement. Work short often because management is always trying to save big money and there is a large turnover rate because of lower pay in comparison to other companies. Poor insurance and benefits.

Pros

Working in corporate you get a lot of experience and a lot of responsibility right away. This has helped me impress my employers after my time at Menards. It was also nice traveling to different parts of the country (even if it was just the Midwest).

Cons

-Having no social life due to the 50-70 hour work weeks (and that was just at an entry level position!). -Working every third weekend which made 6 days a week of working -Management pours the workload on you and everyone becomes stressed out which creates a not very high morale surrounding. When we were asked why we weren't making our deadlines - we would say because we have too much work to do, and have been working until 7-11pm every night and coming in on the weekends to try to make deadlines. But they didn't think that was a good enough reason. -Horribly expensive health benefits -Takes forever to build up a good amount of vacation time -Raises consist of 10 cents every 6 months - if you pass a test -News has traveled on how people are unhappy (at least in a Merchandise Planner position) so it takes 3 or more months to fill vacancies.
