Interviewed May 2008 in Oshkosh, WI (took a day)
Very basic interview with HR manager, the usual what are your best traits and worst traits. How well do you work within a team, etc. A drug test at the hospital followed as well as some basic tests. Nothing to crazy just be sure to do a quick refresher on basic interview questions.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 2 days)
It appears that the basic qualification for working at Menards is that you pass the drug test and that you have a easy going, laid back personality. I met with the HR coordinator and we discussed the position for about 15 minutes. I then interviewed by the Manager of the department I was applying for. We talked for about a half hour mostly about the department and why I wanted to work there. (OK, he talked, I listened, mostly about how wonderfully run the department was but that's OK.) It was a laid back interview.
The store culture is a throw back - very much based on the white male being in charge. Women must be one of the "boys" and are tolerated in a kindly, fatherly way.
