Pros

Flexible hours Weekend pay bonus +2.50 per hr gifts mailed to you for every holiday (sometimes cool stuff) chance to win prizes for working safely lots of mandatory overtime (if you see that as a pro) 1 to 2 times a year to make bonus cash (Menards gift check) just for not calling off and meeting hour requirement

Cons

Very bad communication between departments/supervisors Starting pay is very low and maxes out well below what other similar jobs in the area pay Sometimes set productivity goals that are impossible to achieve, fail to realize the factors that affect reaching them Often have to fix problems caused by other people's laziness Health insurance is very expensive for little coverage Not very much appreciation for your hard work They play favorites, you'll have it super easy if you are buddies with the management, if not your out of luck

Pros

Profit sharing checks, very flexible scheduling, friendly and helpful coworkers, easy job

Cons

10 cent and 50 cent pay increases only a few times a year, might force you to train to be a cashier or carryout, if small department you will take on management duties when they go on break, going home early to help payroll
