Pluspunten
The pay at Menards varies but it can be beneficial. There is a cut off in hourly pay however, and they do not pay salary. Expect to make most of your money in bonuses (if you are a manager) or profit sharing. Profit sharing is probably the only benefit of working for Menards. If you make it up and some how stick to management you can make some big bucks. They can be flexible with hours if you request ahead of time. Hours are pretty decent if you are full time. During April or May thru Xmas. You can average 40 or more hours a week. If you are management expect to be working 50 or more. Paycheck can become excessively high. Extra $2.50 an hour on weekends.
Minpunten
1.) Too much favortism. Store management will promote certain team members that they like better than others. Some without any experience. 2.) You can be Department manager one day or General Manager one day and become demoted to a Full Time team member (non-mangement) or an assistant department manager (if you were a GM) I have seen it happen plenty of times. 3.) General Office Employees are SOOOOOO FAKE: They will be all cheery and super duper excited at semenars, but when they come and visit they are total opposite. 4.) Merchandising is a joke. All merchandising is sent down from corporate and they will have you change one thing one day and change it to something else the next day. Its so repetitive. Unless you are in management do not expect many benefits or bonuses (at all). Even then you get fined more than you do rewarded. You have to work for the company for like 10 years to receive 4 weeks of vacation. Almost 3 to 4 years just to get 2 weeks, and you have to be full time for 1 year. Part timers don't even get vacation or holiday pay.
