Svantaggi
They do not care about your safety multiple ramshackle rolling ladders, uneven floor in the garden center makes that especially dangerous Multiple times over the couple years I worked there I was asked to lift heavy heavy things up those ladders with little to no safety precautions Management only cares about themselves and is mostly just old white dudes despite qualified hardworking alternatives If you are considering working here, do not go into hardware, it is the miscellaneous bin of Menards and you will find yourself being spread thin and walking miles upon miles everyday as someone out in garden center needs help but then someone over by screws needs help And you have to rush there because they're working with a skeleton crew and the customers are rarely patient. All this is to say this place is kind of a revolving door, you'll get a few people that stick around But if you stay there for longer than 6 months to a year you are likely to have a completely different group of people you're working with. Expect to be working full time while also not being marked as full-time. You also don't get holiday pay unless you have worked there full-time for a full year. So even if you work there full-time if you haven't been there a year you're out of luck.
