Pros

Team members are amazing. Menards knows how to find great employees / people. Profit sharing is a big plus..... its too bad that it takes a while to make it worth staying around.

Cons

There does not seem to be one set of policies. It seems that depending on the store you work at (or the general manager at the time), you could be working for a different set of policies. The hours expected do not make it easy to have a family / life outside of work. You can not have children and participate in there lives as much as needed when you are management.

Pros

Profit sharing for employees who work over 1,000 hours per year. Flexible with hours. Lots of resources to help employees learn and grow.

Cons

Late break policy a bit strict, but its never a problem.
