I applied at Menards for a cashiering job. A simple part-time job that I had lots of experience in. At my interview, I was so nervous because I wanted the job so bad. What the hell was I thinking? During the interview they asked me, "Do you know anything about power tools?" I honestly answered, "No. Not a THING!" They ask, "Do you know anything about plants?" Again, I said no. "Well, you're hired." I thought I was cashiering in the garden center at first, but no... They were having me on the floor in Hardware and Garden. Two things I know NOTHING ABOUT! At first, I thought, eh, over time, I'll learn it and I'm sure they'll train me nice like all my past jobs! No. They throw you out in that open water and feed you to the sharks. I have never been so unhappy at a job in my entire life. They expect you know everything right away. When I asked questions, my manager was so rude to me because I didn't know the answers. They told me to put the "freight" away. What the FUCK is FREIGHT? It's pretty much stocking the shelves. Well why couldn't they tell me that? It was so boring and "guests" would come up to me and ask me questions about things I had no idea what they were talking about, so I would try to go and find another employee to help them but I could never find one fucking person! I swear I was the only fucking worker in the store! So all these customers are attacking me, I have NO FUCKING headset so I am doing laps around the store. Omg, it's HORRIBLE!! HOURS ARE HORRIBLE!! 11A to 10P every weekend night?? Nooooo fucking wayyy... Sorry!! And with a manager who is a dick and unwilling to help you and when you ask questions, gets snotty with you, yeah.. Not good. I quit on my third day. I hate Menards. I give everyone there so much respect for dealing with it. I have never ever quit a job... And this I knew from day 1 was not going to work out. When I would clock in, all employees were just whining how they hated it and wanted to go home.
Don't work at Menards.
