Q&A With Menards Employees
IDX: 0 TOT: 39
How often do employees get raises at Menards?
Meilleure réponse des employés
Every 6 months a .10 raise is issued after a competency test is taken and passed. Now, if you're a dedicated employee of 20 years, like myself, you stop getting raises or you're "capped out" as they call it. Unless a cost of living raise is issued from General Office company wide, you get no compensation for your dedicated hard work. In the past 10 years, I've received $1.00 raise, or cost of living, not a regular raise. Really makes a dedicated employee of 20 years feel unappreciated and expendable.
My son has worked at Menard's for 5 years. He received a nice bonus in February. He is only a part-time employee.
i can't remember- frequently in the first 6 months, then yearly. But bonus pay for weekends ($3 an hour bonus for those days).
Does Menards drug test or do a background check?
Yes drug testing and background checks
Menards does have an applicant take a drug test.
Yes. Both, background before they hire and drug test after they hire but before you start. Also drug test at random, if they have reason to feel a need or in case of on the job injury.
What kind of people does Menards like to hire?
A diversity of people. Somewhat experienced but not necessarily.
There isn't a particular type of person they like or don't like. The hiring decision is up to the Human Resource Manager and the Store Manager.
People people, hard workers, those who can work well with others but also on their own, people who can follow instructions and yet make judgement decisions once they are comfortable in their positions, people who know how to be friendly and courteous...

What makes you the most proud about working at Menards?
The workers are great too bad he treat folks like crap, managers can’t help employee as it rule they fine for doing
It used to be the values and expectations the general manager set forth for his employees to follow at his store. Anymore, it's who you are and who brown noses the best to get what you want. Work ethic seems to have taken a back seat
How can I get hired at Menards as a recent grad?
Apply for a job or jobs at Menards. Let the Human Resource Manager know that you are a recent grad. As for hiring, it is up to him or her and the Store Manager to decide that.
