Pros

Flexible hours Weekend pay bonus +2.50 per hr gifts mailed to you for every holiday (sometimes cool stuff) chance to win prizes for working safely lots of mandatory overtime (if you see that as a pro) 1 to 2 times a year to make bonus cash (Menards gift check) just for not calling off and meeting hour requirement

Cons

Very bad communication between departments/supervisors Starting pay is very low and maxes out well below what other similar jobs in the area pay Sometimes set productivity goals that are impossible to achieve, fail to realize the factors that affect reaching them Often have to fix problems caused by other people's laziness Health insurance is very expensive for little coverage Not very much appreciation for your hard work They play favorites, you'll have it super easy if you are buddies with the management, if not your out of luck

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
