      I worked at Menards full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      For the most part, we had freedom of how we ran our departments.

      Cons

      Hours varied along with days off, as managers we were expected to work 60+ hrs at times. (usually, because the department was trashed).

      I have been working at Menards part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Flexibility of schedule, $3.00 extra pay on Saturdays, Sundays, and specific holidays, such as Labor Day and President's Day. Fun experience.

      Cons

      Especially for the Front End, lack of completing Front End tasks such as the checklist that head cashiers need to have done before the day. Sure, they won't get into trouble with it but it makes a bad mark on the store on how they handle things with Front End employees.

      Advice to Management

      Honestly, take the socializing down a big notch. Most of the management team needs to find things to do and complete, not talk about non related work things all the time.
