Menard Reviews

Pros

Extra $2.50 on weekends and instant profit bonuses, if your store makes profit

Cons

If you are a manager in the store the company can make you move without paying for your relocation.

Pros

Menard is a great place to work compared to other retail competitors. They offer a good profit sharing program in addition to the multiple holiday gifts recieved throughout the year. They also give you a christmas merchandise credit check every year that caps out at about 250 dollars. They have a lot of great people that work for the organization, and is a good place to build and develop managerial experience relatively quickly. Also overtime is easily available most of the time and work hours are generally flexible.

Cons

The downside of working at Menards is that it takes a long time to accumulate decent vacation time. Sick leave is not offered and if you have fallen ill you must provide a doctors note to avoid being written up. Work most holidays and often are scheduled overtime during these periods. Mandatory to work every other weekend. Responsible for purchasing your own equipment and uniforms.

Advice to Senior Management

Some benefit packages could be improved. Provide individual team member feedback on job performance to improve work quality of struggling employees and providing hard working employees with more positive incentives.

Pros

profit sharing, advancement opportunity, great managment, good pay, good people to work with, job security, merchandise credit checks, safety incentives, vacation pay, holiday pay.

Treat your employees with more respect, offer more incentives, and take in cosideration that your employees may have a life outside of menards.

Leave stocking to the morning stockers, and selling to the part-timers.
