Pros

Very flexible on hours. You need a day off, weekend, a week, just ask the manager and he/she will work with you. The pay is decent, depending on your job market and what region of the country you are in. It could always be worse but always be better. When you live away from a major city or a high tax bracket the money you make is enough to live on. I support myself and another on the, what seems messily pay compared to most standards, but I live comfortably.

Cons

Full time employment means you MUST have open availability. That means you could pull a noon to eleven shift one day and the very next open at five in the morning. Again, the pay... could be better. The folks at the competitor make more than we do in the retail environment. Each year you are able to receive two raises... for ten cents a piece. You max out after nine years at a dollar and eighty cents. Sound worth it? Nope, Menards is a decent place to work when your options are slim or nonexistent but don't expect to make money, just break even.

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.
