Menards reviews

- Opportunities for advancement grow out of an environment wherein everyone is expendable. Whether you're pushing carts at a store or the Chief Merchant with 33 years invested in the company: One word from John Menard or one guest complaint and it's your last day. This fear of constant, unexplained firings also creates a toxic, fear-based management team. - Pay at corporate is subpar to the industry, even before considering that most of your pay is wrapped up in their 'bonus' structure. With 'bonuses', they still pay 38% less than the industry average. - Zero benefits at corporate. Zero.

Very micromanaged, constant fear for job. Management by fear and intimidation pits people/departments against one-another. Directives from senior management change on regular basis. Lots of office politics. Bare minimum amount of employees for company of that size results in being overworked and high turnover. Poor employee morale. Hourly rate is poor, made reliance on bonuses and overtime which is about 1/3 of yearly pay. Behind the times technology-wise (uses DOS-based systems). Poor employee benefits encourages to work while sick (vacation time is also sick time maxed at 20 days after 5 years). Low level of diversity in management positions (few women or people of color in high-level management positions).
