Current Employee – been working at Menard part-time for more than a year

Pros – Menards has very good benefits even for part time employees, and can often be extremely flexible when it comes to hours for high school, and college students. Every holiday you will get "gifts" in the mail, and co workers are generally up beat and friendly.

Cons – Depending on your manager your experience will either be great, or a living nightmare. Your biggest issue will be the customers, not so much the workplace itself.

Advice to Senior Management – Learn to schedule for holidays and major sales. Having one carryout and 3 cashiers is not anywhere near realistic during rush hours on busy days. If you schedule properly other days of the week then you wont run into so many payroll issues.
