Pros

You are paid on a weekly basis.

Cons

I recently found out that Menards does not want their full-time employees to attend classes unless they are Menards classes. If you are full-time and take even one college class, they can bump your down to part-time status and you lose a couple of dollars an hour in pay plus the lost hours and benefits. This is the only company I know of that DISCOURAGES it employees to educate themselves and become better.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
