Head Cashier

May - August 2019 • Florence, KY

What I liked

It was a grand opening store and I loved the experience of putting a store together for the first time. The management at Menards is amazing and everyone was wonderful to work with. The opportunity to grow from cashier to head cashier in such a short time was invaluable. It was my first leadership position and I learned quite a bit.

Always be smiling and in a good mood it makes the work day a lot better for everyone. Working with the public you will always have angry or difficult customers come in, just shake off the comments and don't let it ruin your day.

Management Intern

June - August 2019 • Golden Valley, MN

What I liked

I liked how my the manager of my department I was interning was very personal and took time to teach me different things. The store managers also were very helpful. It was a very fast paced environment and I dealt with a lot of different people.

What I wish was different

It is a very physically demanding job, so people do have to be prepared to be standing, walking, and lifting things constantly throughout the day.

Advice

Go into new settings with an open mind and ask a lot of questions when you don't know what to do. That way, certain people can teach you and train you in on what to do.

Cashier

June - August 2021 • Ankeny, IA

What I liked

The people working at Menards are phenomenal. There was a large mix between the high school, college kids, and full-time employees at an older age. Everyone was so grateful that there were people wanting to work at this time.

What I wish was different

This was a really hard time to start a job. We had to adjust to different COVID rules about whether we wear masks, and the prices of lumber being so high left a lot of customers frustrated. We were super understaffed and I found myself working 5-10 hours more than I requested each week.

Advice

There are lots of aisles where goods can be, and if you can, start memorizing where things are to better help customers. Also, get to know the people you work with- everyone is much nicer than you think, it can be a little intimidating if you don't know a lot about hardware.

Management Intern

May - August 2021 • Plano, IL

What I liked

The Management Intern program at Menard's was great. There was a great combination of blue-collar and white-collar tasks in the program, and the 12 weeks of projects gave enough time to balance with daily tasks. The people were great, the location was convenient, the pay was good, and the hours were flexible. Overall my experience was very good.
