Vantaggi
Pay is good for what is asked. If you have good people skills, a positive attitude, and some common sense you can make 80-145k a year within 4-8 years if you are aggressive in trying to promote. Menards ALWAYS promotes from within which really gives you a good chance to stand out among the crowd and make a name for your self. I did and It went well for me. Every day is something new. Tons of training.
Svantaggi
Very inconsistent hours. Not uncommon to work 12-15 hour shifts. Have to work every other weekend. Questionable business decisions within the company. Really lame policies. No sick days. Calling in sick or being late requires a doctors note or its a write up. No questions. The managers at our store never go out of there way to tell someone they did something good. If you went way out of your way to help others and really helped out beyond your expectations they will simply tell you what else you should have done while you were at it.
