Pros

Wide array of work experience, many responsibilities, will build a solid work ethic in you. Advancement opportunities if willing to relocate at the drop of a hat. Many different people to work with. Learn about many common products, how to care for things with your house.

Cons

Promotion opportunities - may ask you to move out of the state. At-will employee. Can be fired/ demoted for unreasonable reasons. You are at the mercy of the General Manager/ or your manager. Customers easily get upset with you/ Menards. Retail hours. There is no one to replace a manager - if a manager doesn't show up or is on vacation, then another manager must cover all the hours. The corporate office will make new rules on a regular basis - some of which have no apparent value to Menards, but will upset some employees.
