      It's a job, not a career.

      Pros

      Menards offers a lot of training which for many people who have only a high school education and little home improvement experience. A lot of systems for managing a department which again helps people who have little management experience. Rapid promotions for those willing to move. Friendships with fellow team members (employees) and guests (customers) help make the work day go better. Pay as best can be determined is above Lowes and Home Depot.

      Cons

      Inflexible schedule but that's retail. Limited resources to get the job done given the store management to do lists/expectations, tasks assigned by the general office, and just everyday work of stocking and selling. Lack of promotion path for those with college degrees. 80% of guests are fine but the 20% can be a royal pain.

      Pros

      Menard is a great place to work compared to other retail competitors. They offer a good profit sharing program in addition to the multiple holiday gifts recieved throughout the year. They also give you a christmas merchandise credit check every year that caps out at about 250 dollars. They have a lot of great people that work for the organization, and is a good place to build and develop managerial experience relatively quickly. Also overtime is easily available most of the time and work hours are generally flexible.

      Cons

      The downside of working at Menards is that it takes a long time to accumulate decent vacation time. Sick leave is not offered and if you have fallen ill you must provide a doctors note to avoid being written up. Work most holidays and often are scheduled overtime during these periods. Mandatory to work every other weekend. Responsible for purchasing your own equipment and uniforms.
