Pros

When I worked here the managers were very nice, they offered rewards for employees who out-performed and kept their attendance in check. The break areas are clean and roomy. The coworkers were helpful and friendly too.

Cons

Lack of proper training in many areas of the job. As a front-end cashier at Menards, you won't only be "cashiering," you'll also be trained for returns, go-backs, rentals, etc. with all these different areas, I found it very hard to be prepared for every one of the areas, they were a "learn as you work" type of training which didn't match my learning style. No fridges in the break rooms

A Mixed Bag

Pros

Not a terribly hard place to work and the employees are usually pleasant to work with.

Cons

So called break-room has no refrigerator, running water or vending machines. There is no facilities manager to see to repair of the building and small problems. Part-time employees have to work 1000 hours a year to get "success sharing" which eliminates most retirees from the program. OSHA would have a field day with all of the safety violations. The air quality in the store is abysmal with sooty dust coating everything. Also, a company apron/vest/shirt must be purchased by the employee.
